For English, aside from do/does useless distinguishment, the lack of a gender neutral noun for a person usually make people write in a way "he/she". You could say, "the person" but it's long.

And months should be represented as numbers instead of names in spoken languages too which is easier to use and remember to have a globally common form.

Also, as a Japanese, I'm not sure if singular and plural forms make much sense as we mostly don't have it and I doubt it's any source of confusion.

You mean "they", used as far back as Shakespear?


There's none for singular form.


"A person walked down the street. They were wearing a brown coat."

Singular they has been in recorded use since 1375, it's only been the last couple of hundred years people started trying to insist it wasn't valid.
