English, not Latin

Prescriptionists who insist 'man' is gender neutral as talking bollocks, not English

This is English...

This is some sort of bastardized Latin...

Which language do you speak (which third person pronoun would you use)?

English is not the gendered language prescriptionists are trying to make it when they insist there is no gender neutral pronoun. 'he', as any English speaker knows, is gendered - no matter what might be claimed otherwise. The English gender-neutral pronoun is 'they'.
