:o Kind lady, forgive my ignorance! Online, I use the genderless he to describe everyone, because I studied german and they use man to mean one - jederman = everyone. I find he/she to be bulky.

Blame my english teacher. He said to pick one, and always use the same one when referring to a genderless or unknown-gendered being. Now that I know your gender, I will try to refer to you as a feminine.

I'd hate to refer to someone's alias online as an it, because no represented person is completely genderless, but all aliases are.
