You say it's just a polite suggestion, but you describe alternatives to your suggestion as a "nasty" habit - is it really polite? It's a slippery slope to eir/em/..etc and other "new" pronouns; The latest thinking is you have to ask someone what their pronouns are, and they can insist on pretty much any fad pronoun they want, or else you'll be accused of anything between "being rude" to "hate-crime" (lot of motte-bailey around this). It's probably no wonder people want to keep things simple and stick to convention. In other words, this simple way might get a lot more traction, if it wasn't a gateway / stepping-stone to a worse way.
