Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Player"

A: a "player" is someone who dates or flirts with a lot of people. It's seen as an insult

A: Oh right I re-read what you posted sorry. They are similiar* but I wouldn't say interchangable. People get "addicted" to drugs, they can also say they are "addicted to running/gaming/learning Chinese" but (the second example) is an exaggeration and wouldn't be used in formal writing. No one say that someone is "obsessed" with drugs, unless, like I study chemistry so if I said I was "obsessed with drugs" it would mean I was obsessed with studying and learning about drugs. Obsessed is what people mean when they say they're "addicted to (activity)" like running etc. Addicted is a more extreme than obsessed, it implies they can't stop, obsessed means they just really really like something.

A: The grammatically correct way to say it is "the player is not allowed to use his or her hands" however, it is common for people to use "their" in this case because it's shorter. "Their" is only for third person plural but it is often used when the gender of the subject is unknown, even though it is not grammatically correct.

Also, only use "it" when referring to things that aren't people. "It" often sounds dehumanizing and derogatory when used to refer to people.
