So, should English invent pronouns for "animal", "divine
being",
"plant", "natural phenomenon", etc.?
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
here's an idea:

"this/an animal" = it
"this/a man" = he
"this/a woman" = she
"this/a natural phenomenon" = it
"this/a plant" = it

naaaah. too far-fetched. yappa. Zhongism rule!!!
