Just FYI. I see a lot of cases where people write 'he/she' or 'he or she' when they can simply, and quite correctly, write 'they'. A person who considers that a "revised writing standard" would either be a feminist or assuming the feminine form since they are female or they are making a subtle reference to the increased use of people writing 'she' instead of 'he' or 'they'.
Actually, "they" is bad grammar. You're changing the amount of people you're referring to. :P It is grammatically and politically correct to use any of the following: "he" "she" "he or she".

Nope

5 chars

darn i was editing in some quotes and stuff but firefox crashed :/

in short he or she assigns gender when it's not necessary, "he or she" is fair enough, there is no so-called "revised writing standard" and the singular their has been in use since 1300 (AD)

Now you have to start looking at all that stuff -- getting the first-round bye, getting the No. 1 seed, making a team come to you. If you don't, if you slip up and let a game go, at the end of the year you always look back and say, 'Gosh, we should have won that game.'"
