I propose we should abbreviate he/she/it to s/h/it from now on when the gender of something you're talking about it is unknown - certainly quicker to say in any case :D

"Quina is often referred to as :skull::skull::skull::skull: due to the ambiguous nature of :skull::skull::skull::skull:'s gender."

This seems only fair!

Or you could say s/he/it which sounds like some strange accent.

why not just make it S-hit? that would be better, and make leagues less sense.

Actually, you can just use the gender neutral pronouns instead of being profane like SOME people.

Gender Neutral Pronouns

He/She = zie

Him/Her = hir

See how that's better?

Talking about things with an unknown gender doesn't happen often so I think it isn't necessary to abbreviate it.

I refer to that person as "it".
