"Fie, foul strumpets and women of the night! Take you hysterical selves away to thine homes to care for your men's children!" -sexist
"Hey guys." -bog standard greeting

Hey y'all is my preferred form of address in mixed gender groups though.

If it's "normative to ignore that fact" it kinda means that it is.

For instance - "Mankind" is humanity, including male and female. On the surface it seems that it means men exclusively. But it's "normative to ignore that fact," and so it's gender neutral.

Whether it's sexist as hell is for people who actually care to wrangle over.

Nah, the Man in "Mankind" is the original, gender-neutral form of Man, from before if was patriarchised into just referring to males. The Man in Mankind is identical to Human, and the word identical to Humankind.

I know. But for all modern intents and purposes that is irrelevant.

Installing mods for Fallout 4 on Xbox disables achievements. Is that forever for that character, or only as long as the mods are installed?

Only as long as mods are installed. Uninstalling them and reloading the unmodded save should reenable achievements.

English doesn't seem to have a singularis, actually. It's not an english word to begin with.

If you're meaning singular form, then there doesn't seem to be a general one. Instead it's by gender; bull, cow, heifer, etc... and might vary by region, for that matter. You'd probably be able to get away with using cow for most situations, though.

Huh, I mistakenly thought "cow" was gender-neutral, and that "cattle" could refer to other herd animals too. Nope.

I guess "ox" counts, since cattle are apparently a breed of ox.
