Logophile77 commented on the word he or she
Full disclosure: I'm not a feminist or SJW, I just want to document every English word. So Wordnik's goal and mine are the same.
With that out of the way, does anyone know a oneword equivalent to "he or she"? I'm one of those people who only uses "they" as plural, by the way.

A lot of languages have trouble with this.
