Can there be ambiguity when there are more than one 'third persons' in a situation?
I mean how to use third person pronouns?
for example if there's a male and female
okay his and her would go.
but what about both 3rd person males?
I guess we have to then stay stuck with using names rather than pronouns?

The two men? English does not automatically specify male and female very much. You just have to take pains to make yourself clear if the *** matters.
