I tried to incorporate both reversions, the traditional use of the word "he" and the historical singular use of "they". Both of these claims require sources to support them, but for now we may have reached a compromise. [[User:TheGuy|TheGuy]] 07:54, 23 February 2008 (EST)

: That's the sort of thing that I was hinting at for KimSell to do. They has provided ... (it doesn't really work there, does it?) ''He'' has provided (that's better, even if he is a female member of the ''man''-kind) a couple of links above which could be used as sources to reference. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J.

:: Oh. I am sorry. I did not realise that what you wanted was a lot of unsupported claims about liberals and feminists, as opposed to the actual reference I gave to the historical usage of the word. I will try to be more conservative in my edits in future. --[[User:KimSell|KimSell]] 08:17, 23 February 2008 (EST)

::: And, by the way, if you are going to try to be cute, then at least be accurate. "They has provided" should read "they HAVE provided", and in any case, the use of "they" would not be correct since we know that TheGuy is male. --[[User:KimSell|KimSell]] 08:19, 23 February 2008 (EST)
