My namesake

Has anyone used a gendered pronoun in reference to Moriarty, yet? I mean, the bit with Mycroft last week was clearly a diversion. Does the taxi driver ever use a pronoun?

'Cause that could be interesting.

Edit: no, the taxi driver doesn't ever use a singular pronoun. This bit of dialogue stands out on re-watching, though:

Cabbie: You're not the only one to enjoy a good murder. There's others out there, just like you. 'Cept you're just a man. And they're so much more than that.
Holmes: What do you mean? "More than a man?" An organization? What?
Cabbie: There's a name... no one says. And I'm not gonna say it either.

So, first up, the cabbie slips into the plural, rather than use a singular pronoun. And then there's the "more than a man" comment.

I has a theory.

Ooh, I really like your theory! Not least because I've been underwhelmed by this adaptation thus far, and a change like that could get me interested.
