His Her Hers
Monday, July 25th, 2011
In a formal english essay, is it acceptable to you the words “his or hers” in this context?
“This passage really ‘throws one’ at the reader. It expands his or her thinking, because most do not identify with being so scared of a gender that they don’t even want to see a person belonging to it.”
“…it expands ones thinking…” might be better.
The real problem here is the word “scared”. A bit juvenile.
The rest of the sentence is bulky and awkward.
“It expands…belonging to it.” What does the pronoun “it” represent – the same noun twice or two different nouns in the same sentence? Confusing.
Try this: Most reader’s thinking would be expanded to the point where gender would no longer be an issue.

His-And-Hers Twins $4.69 Wive and Mommi wanted for Hansom Daddi and Dorabl Twins How could two tiny girls cause so much trouble? Zeke Blalock had moved his vet practice to a small town to have more time with his daughters. Now, thanks to the twins' advertising scheme, he was up to his neck in wife candidates! And worse, the twins' favorite lived right next door …. Paige Watkins couldn't believe her eyes when she shepherded the twins and their fliers home. "Daddi" was six feet three inches of hard-bodied male-—and he thought she was applying for the "position." Paige had long ago decided she wasn't marriage material. Zeke's sensual appeal was just one more reason to avoid him. But neither she nor Zeke could evade the efforts of two determined little matchmakers for very long …. |
