I wonder if any language except english has to say "him/her" instead of just the shorter "him" to refer to a third party to be correct. i guess englishes only are such batshit politically-correct insane people.

By that logic Finnish would have 14 words for I:

Practically all languages with gender distinction has to resort to that, equating that to HURR DURR POLITICALLY CORRECTNESS, I believe is idiocy

nope, these are just cases of i, i.e. i/my/me. like japaneses particles (i.e. watashi wa, watashi ga, watashi no etc). japanese has also more then one word for the pronoun, even i who don't learn japanese know at least five such pronouns

are you seriously going to count mä and mää as separate forms of the word
