Things that are lacking in the English language.
#3
I agree, Omni. Such a word would be especially useful if you were referring to a person whose name's gender wasn't obvious to you. For example, I was referring to an author of a .pdf file whose name was of Indian origin the other day, and I didn't know whether his name was masculine or feminine. So, I went with feminine and said 'her', and apparently offended the author. Go figure.
