I am just saying that personally it sounds odd to me to use it 
that way and I don't hear people use it that way either. In 
gender neutral contexts where you don't know the gender I almost 
always say/hear they/their. Maybe he losing its gender neutrality 
is a recent thing, I don't know. Maybe its just a thing with 
mid-westerners?
