HI Airet,
Well, I have got a very useful book called ⌠Plain English■( sorry, but I cannot remember right now the authors of this book).
This book is not a textbook for students of English, but a guideline to English for native English speakers. They recommended in this book to use ⌠their■ when simultaneously referring to males and females, avoid the passive mode and use more verbs and less nouns in your texts.
I think that Germans also need such a book to write ⌠Plain German■
