From: rh@mit-eddie.UUCP (Randy Haskins) By using IT, you are objectifying people, which there is certainly too much of in the computer-hacker community (things like, so-and-so is broken, etc.). I don't like that. We don't think that it objectifies people to have the third person plural personal pronoun the same as the impersonal pronoun -- why should we mind then for singular case? Replace "he" and "she" with "it" today! Singular Plural ------- ------ He They She They It They -- Doug Alan decvax!genrad!mit-eddie!nessus Nessus@MIT-MC
