Language poll by nix 2006-11-19 12:55:59
Looking at this thread, I was wondering what languages you speak/know of that have gender non-specific singular pronouns?

English doesn't, despite one being sorely needed for modern political correctness. As far as I know, French doesn't have one either, but that's the extent of my linguistic awareness.
