Zie and zir

I've found that gender-neutral pronouns actually exist in the English language! This site gives some info. Apparently they are usually typed/read as sie and hir (he/she and him/her respectively), but some people have issues with them since they can mistakenly be heard as she and her. Therefore, some people recommend pronouncing/writing them as zie and zir. I like it. A quick search on the internet shows that the pronouns have been used on usenet and irc...I think I might try using them in #shyroom, so be advised :-P
