person that thier arms hi all Teacher
I met this sentce in 'Cambridge Dictionary Online':
Quadriplegic; means 'a person who is permanently unable to move any of their arms or legs, often because their spine has been injured'.
Here, why they uses plural in Thier arms and thir spine??
is it correctif we say' person who is permanently unable to move any of his/ here arms or legs, often because his/ here spine has been injured'.
I am not sure but I read somewhere that we often use plural when we talk about persons in general, and that is formal, also to avoid the " he or she " !!. right??
Thank you |
