If one wants to be healthy, one / he must exercise regularly and eat healthy food."

[Tan Elaine]

I was taught that in BrE, when 'one' is used the other pronoun/s should also be 'one', and in AmE, the second and subsequent pronouns should be 'he'.

Do British native speakers follow this rule?

For example, "If one wants to be healthy, one must exercise regularly and eat healthy food." (BrE)
In AmE, "If one wants to be healthy, he must exercise regularly and eat healthy food."

Thanks.

This BE speaker follows the one-one version.

When our American friends wake up later I'm guessing they'll choke on their Cheerios at the idea of following one with he.

If one uses 'one' in BrE, one is consistent, and follows through wih one, one's, and oneself. However, one runs the risk of sounding somewhat old-fashioned/formal.

One AmE speaker did use one...his in a recent thread.

Thanks, 5jj.

If 'one' version is old-fashioned, does it mean we should use the AmE style?

[Barb_D]

I would not use one/he.

A person/he or she
A person/they
People/they
One/one
Impersonal you/you


I'd be most likely to use people/they or you/you.

Ah, but we're taught one's is not correct usage...

No. Do what most people do and use 'you'. See also post #6
