Some people care about undertitles, and they care A LOT! I have no idea why, 'cause it certainly ain't moi!

Truthfully, though, it isn't my fault that English lacks gender neutral pronouns.......
On the subject of this pole, and poles in general - why is there no "other" option. This needs to mandatory for all poles! There should always be an option for "other".
On another forum that I belong to (actually, it is a Yahoo chat group - but doesn't that count as a forum?) we even had a pole on which "other" should be in all poles. Several made the cut.
This pole should have read:
"Should Forum Undertitles Be Gender Neutral?"
"Yes.
No.
The B Option (No longer the Bastard option). Have to keep it gender neutral.
Other
Other Other
That Other
This Other
Some other other".
There may have been more, but I forgets. Maybe we need a pole here on otherness......

Reason: And, why are these things always called "poles". Why not some other nationality??
