Grammarians classify pronouns into several types, including the personal pronoun, the demonstrative pronoun, the interrogative pronoun, the indefinite pronoun, the relative pronoun, the reflexive pronoun, and the intensive pronoun.
A possessive pronoun indicates that the pronoun is acting as a marker of possession.

Partially because you will see what these games did well, but moreso because they will encourage you to analyze the design aspects of the games you're playing to see what they do right, what they do wrong, and how you can apply that to your own designs.
While not the first material on game design theory I've read, this is definitely on par with anything you'll find on gamasutra in terms of quality and timeliness.
Although the discussed games are rather old (or not my style) I think that it is quite nice to read about the way they were developed.

 A look at language and gender in Latin and English
In most conversational English the pronoun ³he² is substituted when gender is either unknown or unspecified.
I think that the reason English seems plagued by the problem of specific gender pronouns more so than in Latin is because we are more familiar with the vernacular.
I believe that English needs a universal pronoun to describe both genders, and that we seem to be evolving closer and closer to creating one by broadening the use of our default pronoun ³he.²

In order for the meaning of a pronoun to be clear, it must have the same person, number, and gender as the noun or noun equivalent for which it stands.
The relative pronouns (who, which, that) all have the same form when used as subjects whether they are singular, plural, first, second or third person.
The only time agreement between a relative pronoun and its antecedent becomes important is when the relative pronoun is the subject of a clause; then it determines the form of the verb.

The pronoun game is the phrase used to describe the attempts used by someone not to use a pronoun in describing or identifying their partner or lover to a third person, specifically the sex or gender of that person.
It is especially prevalent in LGBT circles where the speaker does not know how the person hearing about their partner or lover might respond to this knowledge.
