quote:
"It was a tie in the california
recall election tuesday
when everyone voted for himself or herself."
just didn't have the same zing.
People forget that before the PC people got really annoying, the proper referential pronoun for mixed groups of men and women was "himself." Due the the lack of a proper neuter or dual-gendered pronoun, and because of the intolerable ineloquence of having to add "or herself" or " / herself" to things, I still use "himself," as should the rest of the world.
"It was a tie in the california
recall election tuesday
when everyone voted for himself."
See? Grammatically correct, and still the same zing.
