You guys are so far beyond needing these over-simplified tips to help you with your writing but what is fascinating is the attitude behind the writer's points and, even more so, behind the points of the commenters beneath. Read as many comments as you can bear to to see a prescriptive (believing there are set standards of language that should be adhered to) deluge! There are one or two good Language and Gender points in the comments as well.
Do you think it should be:
the writer should help themselves
the writer should help themself
the writer should help him- or herself
the writer should help herself
or some other version?
This is so true! This article may possibly have saved any future essays haha
