Who Owns the Language

[UselessBlueprint]

This problem wouldn’t exist if English had gendered nouns, like all Indo European languages
Maybe it’s time to go back to the roots of the language and amend the grammar appropriately

Certainly we would then find another problem.


Regarding the question -- I haven't a clue.
I'd like to say
"any man can say whatever he wants"
"any woman can say whatever she wants"
"any person can say whatever that person wants"
because I've always felt that using 'one' lacks specificity, but 'one' is still valid in my mind. That being said, I don't believe the forms I've listed here are anything close to being right, practical, or complete. Languages have limitations. I could never expect to express the same thoughts in poetry as a painter can in canvas, or a musician in an instrument.
If I did own the language, I might create a word, as others have tried, but without the silly use of a letter as worthless as X. My gender-neutral-species-neutral-alignment-neutral-third-person-singular would be Ne, accompanied by the gender-neutral-species-neutral-alignment-neutral-third-person-plural Ney, which is distinctly devoid of any male or female parties.
The basic declension would be
he/she/ne -- they/ney
him/her/ner -- them/nem
his/hers/ners -- theirs/neirs

Does the decision to use any particular form over another turn someone into a superior poet? Of course not. Should poets migrate toward any particular usage? Of course not.
For the time being, I'll simply wait until there is enough natural evolution before I consider any alternatives. I've literally never heard anyone attempt to use something other than "they" in real conversation, but perhaps when the language tends toward a new unity on the matter I'll apply it in my writing.
