>"When someone wants to cross the road, he should look both ways." We don't really mean 'he'. Of course, we don't really mean 'she' either. In that case, a gender neutral word might be nice so we didn't have to convolute it by saying 'he/she' or 'the person'. We have 'one', but that always sounds a little pompous somehow.

Some choice -- sound PC (i.e., idiotic) or pompous. Personally, I like "Youse guys" or "y'all"
