Language and Gender article - revision

In this very timely article from the Guardian (of course... they should pay me a commission) revise the arguments around whether English should have a gender neutral pronoun (would form part of your discussion about gender representation, not gendered conversation) and at the same time, look at how the writer forms an argument, sticks to the controlling idea, introduces other experts on the subject and makes the article lively. Note also how the title and sub-editorial material very clearly outline the position of the article.

Whilst you're here, you might as well analyse what I've done with that first sentence. It's pretty long: how and why?

See what I did there?

Enjoy!
