{{ENX|time=18:51, 8 January 2015 (UTC)|text=Him/her is just poor writing. "Him or her" is what must be used when the ability can be used by people of both genders. Otherwise, if the ability is exclusive to a male, use "him." If it is exclusive to a female, use "her." If we absolutely must use "them" or any words like it, then instead of saying "______ causes the user to _______," we would have to say "______ causes users to ________."}} | {{ENX|time=18:51, 8 January 2015 (UTC)|text=Him/her is just poor writing.
