s/he

s/he
PRON-SING
Some writers use s/he instead of either `he' or `she' when they are referring to someone who might exist but who has not been identified. By using s/he, the writer does not need to say whether the person is male or female.

Talk to your doctor and see if s/he knows of any local groups.

Syn:
he or she
