    En anglais, il n'y a pas un pronom neutre. A cause de ce, on employe le pronom masculin quand on parle de generalites.*

    At least, that's what my 12th grade English teacher taught me. Apparently, it's a lot more controversial than that, but in writing, in particular, it appears to be fairly common. In spoken English, it's even more common to use the neutral plural pronoun "they" in place of a neutral singular pronoun.



    *Also, my French is pretty bad. What I'm attempting to say here is "In English, there is no neutral pronoun. Consequently, we use the masculine pronoun when we speak in generalities"

    Yeah, my nieces always make faces at me when I say "What are you guys up to?" "We're not guys, uncle Chris, we're girls! Get it right." Then we catch frogs, look at bugs, and climb trees so you can see how I get confused
