Mankind is two sylables. So is People and Human He wants a short word to mean "all humans" yes be as terse as 'man'. And I want a pronoun that is gender indifferent and is singular. he - male she - female they - he or she, but is plural. |

I hereby propose the following words are formally adopted into the English language:
Mensch (pl. menschen): Man, as in mankind. That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for menschen/We elected Harriet Chairmensch of the board Es: Gender neutral pronoun for people (as compared to "it" for objects). I can't tell if es is a man or a woman. |

I think that the context of the word is sufficient to differentiate man from man. for instance : Man, if the man would just man up to the chairman man, would be more manageable.

How about MAN and "PIE KEEPER" or "SAMMICH MAKER"

Isn't that just the same as man and woman, except how those on ARFCOM might phrase it? No gender-neutral or mankind reference there. |
