That could get confusing.

Do foreign students who can't pronounce "th" have to avoid the definite article from now on?

Did they consider the possessive and objective. Would that be “zis” and “zers”, and “zim” and “zer”.

And what about the plurals? Would that be “zey”, “ziers”, and “zem”.

How about just using “it”, or would they make that “zit”and “zits”?

Zey should go f—k zemselves!

This issue isn’t about being politically correct or censoring anyone.

On the contrary, it has absolutely no point whatever outside of being politically correct and censoring people.

Here’s the takeaway:

If you can get people to deny obvious truths then you can then implant whatever truths you wish into the same minds. Then those minds are yours to control.

Do kids nowadays ALWAYS do what they’re “told” to do?

I guess in Generation Snowflake, they do.

I dunno, this can pretty much be a self-defense tactic for the one addressing the... whatever it is. Refusal to commit, as it were, and a reflection of the recipient’s nebulous nature.

The ‘ze’ mocks & degrades the addressee while offering cover for the beleaguered speaker taxed to avoid offending those who insist upon being disgruntled. And look, it’s even LGBT tested and approved!

I am female.

I absolutely HATE the “Ms’ anyone puts in front of my name.

I keep getting return address labels from ST Judes & other places. They immediately get torn up & thrown away.

The Paralyzed Vets get my name right & they get my donations.

IF I get ANY mail with Ms in front of my name-—I don’t even open it. Just rip it up & toss it.

I was taught he & she. I will continue to use those pronouns.
