Sep 18, 2010 · Regarding the usage of "he" in place of "she", this is possible as a backlash against the typical "she" usage: (by a woman) I love my car. He always gets the best service. This isn't really "common", per se, and really only serves as a Take That against men's use of an inanimate she. Another borderline exception is the Judeo-Christian God: God ...

Nov 8, 2019 · I don't think it would ever be proper to end a sentence with "she's" (see the link @JR posted as a comment to your question for a detailed explanation).

When referring to google ngram, I get 3 possible combinations of she's: She 's She's She has. So my question is should she has be contracted as she 's in the above example like in the examples found from google ngram to avoid confusion? Google ngram hasn't been exactly consistent about this, sometimes using she 's to refer to she is and she has.

Why is the first sentence wrong? We use 'has' with singular, and 'she' is singular. Yes certainly. 'She' is third-person singular. The verb 'does' is a singular too.
