Hi, I have this question:
When someone is speaking or writing in general, he/she (they?), writes: someone, or a person, or one as the subject of the phrase. For avoiding the male/female problem, some people accept the use of their/them, for example:
If a person enters the room, he/she (they?) has to take his/her (their) shoes off.
1. Is the same if you don't use 'person', but, for example 'someone' or 'one'?:
If someone enters the room, he/she (they?) has to take his/her (their) shoes off.
If one enters the room, he/she (they?) has to take his/her (their) shoes off.
2. Would any of the expressions in green be suitable in those phrases?
Thank you guys.
