Gender-O-Matic

With PhraseExpress you can create gender-specific phrases in no time. The same phrase can output "She has received her invitation" or "He has received his invitation" on a case-by-case basis.

If you enter the text contents of a new phrase in PhraseExpress and type a gender specific word in the phrase contents box, such as "he", "him", "his" "she","her", "hers", etc, PhraseExpress offers you to insert a generic placeholder instead:

If a phrase containing Gender-O-Matic placeholders is executed later, PhraseExpress prompts you which gender to use for this particular insertion and use that gender for the phrase contents.

You can use pre-configured Genderhelp macros for common gender-specific words or create your own Gender-O-Matic macros, e.g. "boy" vs "girl":

The temporary system variable "genderomatic" stores your choice as number for reuse with other macro functions:

ChoiceNumber
N/A0
Female1
Male2
Neutral3

PhraseExpress auto-adapts the letter case, so you only need to use lower caps in the macros.
