pronouns - Gender question





Possible Duplicates:
Speaking about someone of unknown gender…
Gender neutral pronoun







I'm writing a paper about markets and mention several times providers and their offers. The problem is when I use the singular, since I'm not sure if I should use a male or female pronouns. For example, is it a provider and his offer or a provider and her offer?


Answer



You can just as well use "a provider and their offer" to keep it neutral and still in the singular person.
