I went to dinner last night with some old co-workers and one told me their 10 year son recently has asked them to call them "she" or "her"
This is an element of the pronoun thing that I have never understood,.. Terms like he, she, him, her, it, them, they, etc... are all used in the absence of the individual in question,.. Why would you care how someone might refer to you when you're not even present?,.. When they are present I'd simply refer to them by name.
