Gender-Neutral Personal Pronoun

English really needs a gender-neutral personal pronoun. It's just too ugly, awkward, and ambiguous to use "they" when "he or she" is meant. Other cases are worse.

The problem is being solved through the addition of the Finnish loan word "han" to our language.

Details:

han: he/she. hanen: his/her. hanet: him/her or to him/to her

Examples:

When Kim met Lee, han hugged hanet and gave hanet a kiss.

Uers of the word are encouraged to virally help propagate it by including a link to this post:
