THURSDAY. BK1TKMBKR 9, IPSO ANSVWORI. The 'Sacramento Bee hat coined a aewiword. "hlr," to take the place et "he and she," "hit and her." Tho Be declares it kas the courage of IU convictions and will uie the word In its columns In place of the longer lkrttM, Other California papers havo not taken kindly to the Bee's offspring as a. couple of comments shew: Tke Bakersfleld Calif ornlan says: i vTke Bea should turn to tha Standard Dictionary .and read 1 about tke priority rlghis of Chsrtes Croxat Conrerst ot New York. It. seems that he made a proposal 'away back In 18CS that the word "tfcon" be coined aa a pronoun at. , tke third person, common gender, meaning 'that Me, be. she or It."" This neoterlsa apparently complied with neoteristlc canons, since It supplied an antecedent blank. obeyed an obvious analogy, and . was euphonious. la spite of tkls fact It failed Because, as the far mer said, "it eaa't be; did" that- Enthusiastic word reformers ' who believed in Converse and his "thon" died of senile debility while watching and waiting for somebody with the courage to use it. So bitter Is .the fate of the' " coiner ot "thon" that even The Bee. apparently, has never heard, of that evanescent, mellifluous cre ation. As for The Bee's abomina ble "hlr." which sounds like "her" In bifurcated guise, we reject It because ot the prior rights ot Mr. Converse's "thon," also because the generic sense of th.aascullne covers every- possible case' with sufficient aecaaacy. and because "hlr" would alsslfy oar already topbeavy catalogue of words of the Dstty Dlmpltaand Fluffy Ruffles Tha disapproval ot the Stockton Xeoard is quite asampaalic:. The Sacramento Bee steps bold-; ly forth with tha announcement that It has coined a new word and v Intends to hold on to it'and'use It. ' The word is "hlr," and U Intended to be used in place ot the awkward ' repetition of he or she when de sirous of Including both sexes in a remark. For instance, Instead of saying, "Every applicant at the marriage license bureau Is coy; he or she Invariably dislikes to tell j. his or her age," The Bee would say, "Every applicant at the mar riage license bureau Is opyj hlr invariably dislikes to telThli' age." The Bee admits it looks strange. ' It certainly does. But there is a v real need for such a word. Some one oace colaed the word "thea," ' to ha used la place or he or she, his or her, but the world was slow to take It up aad it died ot agtact and' malnutrition. Candor compels us' to state that In our opinion It waa.a better word than "hlr." The Utter looks aa if the one using It doesn't know how to spell. That It) .why the Record takes pains to ell the world" about The Bee's honest-to-goodness new word. The Bee man Is a good fellow and he knows a lot.
