Folks:

Do you have thoughts on gender neutral language? Nomenclature? Other gender neutral items I cannot currently remember? Are you opposed? For? Mixed? Share your thoughts!

I am pretty good about not using gender-specific language - that is, not making verbal assumptions about an unknown person's gender. I stink at using completely gender-neutral language. I would love it for good third person singular gender-free pronouns to take effect across the board because the singular "they" makes me cringe, and gender assumptions make me tired. If there were to be a reasonably standard set of gender-neutral pronouns that were agreed-upon by multiple parties, I would try my best to propagate their usage.
