If you're at all into the changing linguistic patterns of America, this may be of interest.  English has both masculine (he) and feminine (she) singular pronouns.. but no gender-neutral one.  Until Now... and Yo's the word. 
I always found it odd that our singular pronouns (he, she) were gender-specific but our plural pronoun (they) is gender non-specific.  Perhaps someday there'll be a new group of kids using gender-specific plural pronouns (hims, hers ??).
