(Native speaker) This fable pretty accurately sums up my thoughts on trying to be politically correct. Write "he" and you are chauvinistic. Write "he/she" and you are trying too hard to be politically correct. Write "they" and your grammar is wrong. | |

Moreover, one might also avoid the gender problem by switching to the second person; e.g.: You should always be aware of your surroundings. | |
