About this mod

Changes instances of "his" used for gender neutral pronouns found in some load screen descriptions to "they" where it makes sense. Also lowercases nouns that have no in-game reason to be uppercase. No more inconsistency or bad use of English.

Singular they has existed in English for centuries yet Oblivion still uses gender neutral "him" (english was technically genderless until the turn of the 20th century so him was accepted as a gender neutral term in some cases) but only sometimes. I changed instances of where it doesn't make sense. The vanilla loading screens do not specify gender so it makes more sense to use they, something that is already sometimes used. If daedra are referred to as a group then they is used. Despite daedra being genderless entities (and they fitting more grammatically), followers assign gender to them so it doesn't make sense to change that

I've added a second file, Even More Sensible Grammar.esp that changes the capitalization of nouns that don't have an in-game reason to be that way. Things like attributes and skills are now all in lowercase. See the pictures for updates. It also merges the changes from the original file so simply just use either.

What's affected: pretty much only Oblivion.esm and Unofficial Oblivion Patch.esm have instances of these that I have found. I simply copied the changes from UOP so you don't even need it but still get the fix. If you see a mod that has this issue please let me know so I can make a patch for it. If I get bored again I'll probably go through any offenders in the books and stuff. Luckily quests are in 1st person :)

BTW: if I messed anything up please let me know, I didn't feel like testing everything

Installation: put this as low as possible or just merge into a bashed patch last. Should be compatible with pretty much anything

Permissions: do whatever you want, I don't care about credits for this mod
