What pronouns do you use when the gender is not known?

[Zebra]

Why don't you just use the person's name?

because it is not practical in my sentence

 

[d0gbreath]

I prefer correct grammar. One person is not a they or them. < Plural.
How about, "Hey you! Get back to work."

I was going to say "Hey you" and you beat me to it.

What is your sentence? There's no grammatical situation where a proper name can't be substituted for a pronoun.

Toy R Us

He is related to here ("this place") and basically means "this person," not strictly "this male."

It shows the power of Thought Control that those who most oppose weird pronouns don't realize how retarded using "they" with a singular antecedent is. It is also collectivist, so it's designed to prepare our minds for Statist tyranny.

The media go out of their way to put the antecedent in the singular for no reason at all except to put the pronoun in the plural.

And if a person proclaims himself/herself as non.binary, what do you use?

I dont know, but they would then be eligible to have their face on a box of pancake mix.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

But in my mind, it is not for human beings

No One Should Brag About Being "Educated"

Neither is that instead of who, as in, "A mayor that defunds police is encouraging crime." I immediately recognize that usage as an indication of treating people as inanimate objects, such as in all political theories.

I call everyone "fucker."


It's gender neutral.
