I just want to say that I really love that they're using the pronoun "she" in the beginning. It is refreshing to hear when most business books are directed using male pronouns.
- ppbutt 8y ago"They" would be the proper term.
- t0mbstone 8y agoYeah, I find it annoying when people presume to refer to an unknown person as 'He" or "She". It's especially annoying when a writer randomly alternates genders throughout their document. Pandering much? The solution is the firmly established use of the singular "They": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they The singular "They" has literally been used in the English language since the 14th century, and its usage is well-understood. Any English teacher who dissuades you from its use should be stripped of their credentials, because "they" are an idiot.
- OJFord 8y agoCompletely disagree, that was a very awkward sentence, and read better as 'their' or even 'the' in that particular case. 'her company' for the abstract founder's business is just as wrong as 'his'.
