Is obrigado used in case of unclear gender of the author?
In Portuguese a male speaker thanks with an «obrigado», while a female with an «obrigada». I am reading a text (some thank you notice for buying some mass-produced industrial product with no obvious single maker) and see the word «obrigado». Can I deduce that the writer of the text is male or is there some kind of neutral male default that might be in use here?
