Thine, Thou, and Thee should easily confuse.
There’s already a perfectly good neuter singular pronoun: “one”. I have to laugh when I see something like “If one does A, then they should also do B.”
But let’s face it, “they” as a singular pronoun is here to stay. The idiots won this time.
Progressives NEVER have good intentions, they only care about subjugation.
No. They are making up words now. I reject the entirety of the new genderism.
My preferred pronoun:
Mister Mxyzptlk
My understanding is clear.
Some people fit into the stupid box.
Some fit into the ridiculous box.
More and more people fit into the nutcase box.
.
A handy one for FR:
Xirholes...
;)
Must be Viking Kitties they dont mind sitting in the cold snow...
My choice of pronoun would be the unpronouncable symbol of a raised middle finger.
Your cats did not appreciate the trip to the vet which made that happen. They are planning on returning the favor.
They can F thirslves
My preferred pronoun is “Your Royal Majesty”
No, not the way they want it. It is an old usage, yes, but in a very limited set of circumstances. They are going to have massive problems trying to force the English language into "they" as a singular referent.
You know it’s wrong; I know it’s wrong. It’s not going away, because so few people know or care about grammar.
Even the “old usage” described in the linked article is wrong. I was taught long ago that “he” is the correct singular pronoun to use when referring to an unspecified individual from a mixed-sex group.
The English language does change, whether or not I might like the changes.
I kinda like shkle. I’ll just F*#% shklimself...
Looking at the list, there is a “heshe”. So if you want to throw them a bone... okay, probably not a good choice of words here, but give them that one for kicks...
Male
Female
Heshe
Done....
Our dumbass HR Department started this nonsense about one's "preferred pronouns" being in their profile and accessible via Outlook and Teams. We were all instructed to put our preferred pronouns in. Of course the "standard" ones that include "they, them, zhe ..." were all included along with a spot to check "Other" and fill our own pronouns in.
Some of us ... myself included ... decided to have some fun at the insanity HR was inflicting.
I became "Lord Master Hizogg of the planet Zork" as my preferred pronoun.
Of course I was called into HR for my intransigence and instructed to "correct" my pronoun. I refused, citing the "Other" box and demanded my preferred pronoun remain on my contact card.
It's still there. I fully believe in using the Rush Limbaugh method of demonstrating absurdity by being absurd.
RIP Rush. That's a lesson I'll *never* forget.
I like putting “God/Lord” for my pronouns and watching the liberal’s heads explode.
I am taking a different path. I don’t use non-traditional pronouns for anyone. I do however assign preferred adjectives for people that insist..
