Why would half of the players have a playername of null?
- woliveirajr 10y agoHe meant "attributed to him", I think.
- Biganon 10y agoNo, they don't know whether the player "null" was male or female, therefore they used the pronoun "they", which is correct.
- adwn 10y ago> the pronoun "they", which is correct It's also highly ambiguous in this specific case (I had trouble understanding the sentence, too), and a simple "him/her" would have been preferable.
- woliveirajr 10y agoGot it (really didn't knew this use of "they"). Reading back, perhaps "the player" would be better than "they", if it was just one player having problems.
