Talk:Hit Points

The MOS says "no they". We all agreed on this rule earlier, even though it's depreciated. If it's depreciated, we bring it back ! 02:16, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Depreciation is a reason not to bring it back. But "it" is no better. If I remember my English classes, it might be preferable just to choose either "he" or "she"--or just "he or she". --  Neumannz ,  The Dark Falcon  02:23, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

Why don't we use "the character"? or the MoS has something against it too?02:25, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * We had put, "use the general he" as in (s)he. Apparently that was depreciated, though I still see it in frequent use. And we're talking Eliott & Quinn's most recent Contract Law textbook. :P  02:38, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

With all due respect to Eliott and Quinn, this isn't a legal document, so it's not exactly an appropriate phrase in this context. --  Neumannz ,  The Dark Falcon  02:55, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * The point that I was trying to drive home is that it's current. Current stuff are always made understandable. Now, law aside, if any textbook or any guide for that matter uses a singular, and always uses (s)he over it or even they, then it's only right that we stick to that format. 03:09, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
