I have been wondering for a while about one matter.

If the group who invented personsal pronouns in the dim dark past of our language group had been politically correct would they have given us a single word for the he/she combination.

I think also it is a bit amazing given the breadth of the language development befre writing how was it taught to new comers to the tribe?

Just a thought.
