Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"His" and "her" are both gender-specific pronouns, and using only one of them could exclude individuals of a certain gender. The use of "their" as a singular pronoun is becoming more common, but it is still a controversial grammar issue for some. Therefore, the best option is to use "his or her" to be inclusive of all genders.
