How can he missed "No.6"?
I was really reluctant to write the above title:
"How can he missed the No.6?"
I wish to change it into the following:
" How can the No.6 be missed? "
And I think it is obvious different. Because I don't want to use the word "he". Because the word "he" is male in gender. Some people would like to use the word "he/she" instead. But it will slow the flow of English. It is the weakness of English. The English people do not have a word like "他", in the older Chinese.
Because the one I wanted to write about is a rescuer. The person could be male or female. And in this case I have no word in English to use. It is the weakness of a spelling language like English. It will hinder the flow of thought.
But now the Chinese do not have that word "他" either. The Chinese can only write "他/她" if they wish to express a meaning in the case of both sex.
Anyone can be a rescuer, either male or female.
When the rescuer is running to the scene to help, the rescuer can be a male or a female. There are lots of different scenarios like this. People during the May 4th Movement in 1919 were too clever to "invent" a word "她", and the word "她" had pushed away the non-gendered "他".
It seems to be a small matter at first.
But actually it is not a small matter. If anything deters or hinders the flow of thought of a whole nation, it must be an important issue not to be neglected.
It is not to be neglected.
Note:
The point about the person running to help had missed issue "No.6"........ it might be interesting, it is important. Because it is about the flow in the thought of the mind. I will discuss it later.
