Some thoughts on Pronouns Mike Looney 04 Sep 2014 19:14 UTC

I posted this to one of the face book Traveller groups, so you may have
seen it.  I'm looking for as much input on this as possible.

Semi random question about pronouns. I'm in the process of doing a
weapon and vehicle book. For Reasons, I don't want to use the English
generic "he/him/his".

I have, at this point what I think are two primary options.
1) use she/her/hers (which given that lead example character is a female
human makes some sense) or
use Spivak LambdaMOO pronouns. This does have the force of history
behind it, given it was made for gaming with. Any thoughts?
