The following string codes work for socials.

   $n - The name of the character doing the social.
   $N - The name of the victim, if applicable.
   $e - Translates to 'he', 'she', or 'it', depending on the sex of the
        character doing the social.
   $E - Translates to 'he', 'she', or 'it', depending on the sex of the
        victim.
   $m - Translates to 'him', 'her', or 'it', depending on the sex of the
        character doing the social.
   $M - Translates to 'him', 'her', or 'it', depending on the sex of the
        victim.
   $s - Translates to 'his', 'her', or 'its', depending on the sex of the
        character doing the social.
   $S - Translates to 'his', 'her', or 'its', depending on the sex of the
        victim.

In general, lowercase letters correspond with the character doing the
social, and uppercase point to the victim, if a victim was specified with
the social. Also, the male pronoun gives a hint as to which letter to use.
Look at the last letter. He = $e, Him = $m, His = $s.
