Okay so, I was playing when I got the skill up notification, and my sim was referred to as both he and her in the same notification. He doesn't have any custom gender settings. This is the first time I've noticed something like this in my game. Only mods I run are MCCC and WW, both of which I doubt would make an impact on the text notification. See the attached screenshot for more information. Just figured you guys should know o/
edit: the bug is completely replicable by leveling/setting a male sims fitness to 5

Using the String Table Lookup feature of Sims 4 Studio, it appears that the String is hard-coded to say "her".
It should say something like {0.SimFirstName} has improved {M0.his}{F0.her} endurance and will loose less energy when swimming.

I can imagine catching all the small imperfections in the game (Sims 4) can be a daunting task, and to be honest, I've actually never noticed this little surprise until today but this is what I read in the description of this aspiration when you mouse over the description of the Woodworking Requirement in the Nerd Brain Aspiration:
Craft an Object on the Woodworking Table The Wordworking Table can be purchased from Build Mode under the Skills Sort. OK. wait what? Wordworking? Yep Wordworking, not woodworking which is quite a relief actually because my sim is forever hitting his head with the hammer. Yeah, it's not a big deal and actually kinda funny now that I noticed it.
Edit: To fix a spelling mistake. LOL

@Ethyrdude... funny! Well, hopefully EA will see your post here and change that spelling. It may be helpful to re-word your post title to indicate that this is a misspelling in the game. Thanks for your great observational skills and sharing!

Re: Exclamation Point.
It is not a bug! It is my lame attempt as a joke reference to the IT Crowd, when Moss encounters fire in his office and writes an email to broadcast it.

What is your current game version number? 1.59.73.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get To Work, Seasons, Cats and Dogs, City Living, Get Famous, Get Together, Parenthood, Outdoor Retreat, Realm of Magic and Vampires
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have a Sim reaching a new level in Rocket Science Skill.
What happens when the bug occurs? If you have a Sim reaching a new level in Rocket Science Skill, it says e.g. "He / She can now install Automated Landing Computer Upgrades on Rockets.", despite the sim's name should be mentioned at "He / She". This issue happens at all Rocket Science levels, but not on another skills.
What do you expect to see? I expect that the sim's name is shown at this notification like at all other skills.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
If a sim reaches a new level in rocket science skill, the notification does not show the sim's name.
