	It'd all be easier if English had a gender neutral pronoun for humans.
That's the best solution.

	He/she doesn't seem "unusual" to me - I think I grew up with it. But
you're right - it's a pain to repeatedly type and a pain to read as well.

	I like how some people just do (s)he. That way you can read it any way
you want.
