I was just trying to mimic the past tense that might be used in a dictionary definition.
Of course, the more traditional definition would just read something like this:
Quote:
"He" [pronoun] used to refer a person who is a man or boy, previously mentioned or easily identified.

So, yes, the definition is changing, but the change has not rendered the definition irrelevant, as miliomilo argued.
