English vocabulary is really great at being an international language by its simplicity.
Sure, not the best for poetry, but Shakespeare still exist, so shrugs

Shakespeare himself uses a bastardized form of old english, so not the best example. The bible is a better example imo, because it acutally uses old words correctly.

I think you mean gender neutral third person pronouns.

They and them are often used this way, but it’s still clunky because those terms are usually not single person.

Nah, f**k that. Gendered pronouns a4re fine, and singular they/them is gramatically valid.
