The client generates the text, so I'm afraid you cannot currently do this lua. Future version may let you work around this, but it will take more bandwidth.

Don't worry, German is being ruined in a similar way. ;) You could argue that it's even worse because male persons are excluded outright. Example: male plural form of 'student' = 'Studenten' (was used as generic, neutral term for both genders in the past); female plural form of 'student' = 'Studentinnen'. New way to address all students regardless of gender: 'StudentInnen' [sic]. Same goes for almost every other job/occupation description.

Isn't having to play as a male soldier more sexist than the obituaries?
