> any document that exclusively uses masculine pronouns for genderless subjects reads as outdated. Correct English is never out of style. Different languages do different things, and that's okay. Some languages apply grammatical gender to more than just sex, e.g. tools, or fruit. That's okay. English uses grammatical gender to distinguish between male, female & neuter objects, and defaults to male when referring to unknown males-or-females. That's okay too. It's all part of the rich panoply of life. > By referring to “the user” as “he”, you’re already distracting roughly 50% of your potential readership I really doubt every woman is distracted by proper grammar. And of course by not using correct English, you distract people who use & prefer it.
