I teach adult ESL. English provides enough of a challenge to most people without this kind of nonsense, so I will not be covering it in class. Plus, the overwhelming majority of my students haven’t been infected by the particularly virulent form American leftism going around these days, and would think this is nuts.

It really wouldn’t be of any value if you did. Because next week some offended Social Justice Warrior will find a flaw in the list. So they’ll discard these new pronouns, and then invent even crazier pronouns.

I’d support a law requiring them to have tattooed on both their forehead and foreskin or vulva to make it legal...

I prefer the all inclusive pronoun “She, He, It or Transexual,” or just use the acronym S.H.I.T.

I actually came up with it “off-the-cuff”. I’m not surprised that someone else was thinking along the same lines.

Just took me back to my Grandmother's kitchen in the mid '50s - she had a pink radio on a metal stand and I saw myself standing next to it and looking out the window while hearing that song.

Wonder if my short term memory is ready to go.....
