Splat is a system of
gender-neutral pronouns used in many
MUDs and
MOOs. An asterisk (or "splat") is used to replace the letters that differ in the corresnding gender-specific pronouns. For example,
h* is used rather than
him or
her.
The complete list of pronouns is:
- *e (for he or she)
- h* (for him or her)
- h*s (for his or hers)
- h*self (for himself or herself)
