>Unlike e.g. German, English doesn't have a gender neutral singular pronoun to use.

What German pronoun are you talking about?

My German is very rusty. I was thinking of the different gendered language bits in general rather than pronouns in particular.
Which bits? In German Er is used for such purposes.
Me: says something

You: points out I'm wrong

Me: concedes I'm mistaken

You: continues to question me

Why?
