In regard to all the controversy over the use
of "he" or "she" or "he/she" in articles:
Why not use the genderless "one"? (e.g., one sits
down at the terminal and posts a silly news article.)

"One" is not that hard to use, and does not imply
any stereotypes.  I do find the use of "he" or "she"
sexist, and "he/she" rather unwieldy.
