POLL: Language Analysis: Voxi?

[magnum]

This seemed to cause quite a debate at my school. Personally, I started off by saying 'the writer', but I was getting too repetitive, so eventually I just reffered to Voxi as 'she' lol  

How about everyone else?

[benbatt17]

as it wasnt specified i used Voxi a few time along with the writer and the author for variation but most of the time i didnt need to even use a term to describe Voxi because i varied my structure

[rajah21]

Haha, I used 'he' because it has only has two letters and 'it' sounded too mean

[dejan91]

By "it" do you mean "Voxi"?

[phuiii]

I just used "the writer" mostly as It didn't clearly state who the author was.

[PepsiMax]

'The author'

I think Voxi was just a part of the website.

[krzysiek]

It didn't state if Voxi was male or female, so I am not sure how one would come to some solid conclusion of which one it would have been.

[PepsiMax]

It didn't even state if Voxi was the writer of the piece or not.

Do not make assumptions.

[benbatt17]

yes it did... at the end it said Voxi so therefore is that no someone signing off at the end of their piece of writting?

[d0minicz]

i used Voxi because they also put that at the end of the piece

[PepsiMax]

I was taught that if does not explicitly state the author's name, you call them the 'writer' or the 'author'.

As you can see, there is mass confusion so I believe that it was not explicitly stated.

I think the examiners will be lenient (I mean, what kind of name is Voxi?).

[kendraaaaa]

I think it's a pretty clear assumption to make that Voxi (an online alias) was the author of the article.

[almostatrap]

Haha, I used 'he' because it has only has two letters and 'it' sounded too mean

+1

i knew i was not correct but cbf'd

[skinny]

good question! i actually said "Voxi" most times, otherwise it was he. Hope he wasn't actually a she....awkward....

[mystikal]

it doesnt matter which one you put as long as you were constant through out the analysis on using the same one right?
