 person I'd like to ask about #1. #1 An honest man would not say so. Can I use " an honest person " like #2 instead of " an honest man" without changing the meaning? #2 An honest person would not say so. Thank you. Lina |

| Yes, you can. Some prefer 'person' where the gender is unknown or unimportant, others use 'man'.  |
