He was a soul stripper. He took my heart!</lang>

Note that we cannot do a good job for the general case of english text using simple rules. For example, consider:
* Give her the book.
* It is her book.
* Give him the book.
* It is his book.
For this simple example, to determine whether to change ''her'' to ''him'' or ''his'' we would need a grammatical representation of the surrounding context.
So, for now, we limit ourselves to the simple case specified in the task example, and do not even do all that great of a job there, either.:
<lang J>cheaptrick=: rplc&(;:'She He He She')</lang>
And, the task example:
<lang J> cheaptrick 'She was a soul stripper. She took my heart!'
He was a soul stripper. He took my heart!
cheaptrick cheaptrick 'She was a soul stripper. She took my heart!'
She was a soul stripper. She took my heart!</lang>
