Full Discussion: "she" in userdel?
The Lounge What is on Your Mind? "she" in userdel? Post 302587411 by zxmaus on Wednesday 4th of January 2012 10:34:23 PM

Hi,

the english language has no gender neutral pronoun for people - 'it' is only applicable to things, not to persons. So you have the choice between him and her instead - or something totally weird like plural as in 'them'.

For us non-native speakers that seems funny but for native speakers it seems quite normal Smilie

This explains it a bit

Regards
zxmaus

ngettext - translate message and choose plural form SYNOPSIS
ngettext [OPTION] [TEXTDOMAIN] MSGID MSGID-PLURAL COUNT DESCRIPTION
The ngettext program translates a natural language message into the user's language, by looking up the translation in a message catalog, and chooses the appropriate plural form, which depends on the number COUNT and the language of the message catalog where the translation was found. Display native language translation of a textual message whose grammatical form depends on a number. -d, --domain=TEXTDOMAIN retrieve translated message from TEXTDOMAIN -e enable expansion of some escape sequences -E (ignored for compatibility) -h, --help display this help and exit -V, --version display version information and exit [TEXTDOMAIN] retrieve translated message from TEXTDOMAIN MSGID MSGID-PLURAL translate MSGID (singular) / MSGID-PLURAL (plural) COUNT choose singular/plural form based on this value If the TEXTDOMAIN parameter is not given, the domain is determined from the environment variable TEXTDOMAIN. If the message catalog is not found in the regular directory, another location can be specified with the environment variable TEXTDOMAINDIR. Standard search directory: /usr/share/locale AUTHOR
