I am not sure how much this will help, but I am interested in this
question also ;-)

"The personalty of the Holy Spirit is emphasized at the expense of strict
grammatical procedure in JN 14:26, 15:26, 16:8, 13, 14, where the
empathic pronoun EKEINOS, "He", is used of Him in the masculine, whereas
the noun PNEUMA is neuter in Greek..." 
 Vine's complete expository dictionary of the Old & New Testament,  pg
594 under "Spirit".

Also, what is meant by, "at the expense of strict grammatical procedure"
