One thought on ““Firemen,” “man of the week,” and pronouns, plus some thoughts on Florida”

  1. QUOTE: Pigweed and Crowhill go old school and insist that words ending in “man” are perfectly acceptable, as is “he” as the interdeterminate pronoun. “Man of the week,” pronouns, etc.

    Indeed, they are quite acceptable. As well, words like “fireperson”, “person of the week” and “they/them/theirs” are acceptable. Context, intended audience and preference are likely good gauges for determining term usage.
