I’m from Turkey so English isn’t my native language. We just call O in Turkish to no matter its he/she/it. Is there an equivalent of this generic term on English?

I don’t want to call he to a female or vice versa.

    You use “an” when the word after sounds like it starts with a vowel. “They are a bad person” is correct, “They are aN awesome person” is correct.

    English is dumb.
