pronoun

Pronouns make general-purpose game responses for characters possible. Take, for instance, the following response for DoHit:

    case &DoHit:  print "Venting "; player.pronoun #3; " frustrations
            on "; The(object); " won't accomplish much."

The word after “Venting” will be “your”, “my”, “his”, “her”, or “its”, depending on what person the game is told in (and which applicable set of pronouns the player object has). The pronoun property is aliased by the pronouns property.

A properly-filled pronoun property will have four elements:
