From what I've heard, these days there are attempts to condemn man in German as sexist.
In English, I also like using "one" but it's often too clumsy. As for those "ey" and "eir" pronouns, I find them not just extremely ugly, but also a very annoying obstruction while reading.
Is that what that was? I had assumed that the text had been copied from some typesetting system that made a 'th' ligature glyph which didn't survive the copying process.
I actually stopped noticing it pretty quickly. That's what comes from reading a lot of poorly OCRed ebooks.
