In quite a few languages, 3rd person singular pron has only one form. Out of curiosity, I searched online and found some of those. It takes time for them to switch between He and She in speaking English.
I hope English will eventually use only one form too in the future. :D

English: he, she

And that's the beauty of this smiley, it is vague and I think it describes human. :mad: is for mad. Mad with excitement , mad with feelings, show activity and energy.So when I used it I mean I am mad with excitment.

I think you'll find that there are even more languages that differentiate between male and female pronouns. Just be thankful that we don't have gendered adjectives and articles. :D

Would that be "the dead"?
