Indeed, my reaction as well. I use [[singular they]]
or avoid using pronouns
altogether.
:-) Everyone hates "sie and hir", except for some really strange people
(i.e. potential Wikipedians). Using "sie and hir" is one of those things
which you can only do on the Internet, because if you did it in real life,
violence would almost certainly result. The most idiotic thing about it is
that "sie" is actually German for "she", so if you speak German, the
pain
factor increases about tenfold. Which makes it eligible for being illegal
torture under international human rights conventions.
