there was a law in canada where you could be fined for not using the right pronouns
the sjw instantly called him a nazi and transphobic piece of shit even though he was okay with using preferred pronoun if he/she earned the respect to.
That was where Jordan Peterson went viral, and rightly so
Lol there’s literally an anti trump Prius driving nut in front of me who is too dumb to realize the “cool Prius -nobody” sticker is anti Prius
yeah nicknames aren't covered, why should pronouns? I honestly don't know the difference since your asking someone to call you something else
Pronouns are what you use to refer to a person in past tense or relation, or to avoid saying the name over and over again
oh and a lot of things you can't expect everyone to be on board so making it a law was dumb
I'm aware of the difference, pronouns is used to refer to someone, nickname is also used to refer to someone, different but in the case of having a preferred one, it's basically the same
Even so, complicating language forcibly is a bad thing
English has naturally changed throughout the centuries, at a gradual pace
Trying to force radical change creates unholy amounts of confusion
Language is constantly changing but changing they and them in grammar will cause a lot of confusion
Idk if they made ze and zem pronouns to get around them
I bet the don't use them like the hypocrites they are
Does “they/them” mean a gender neutral person or multiple persons in this context?
Seriously, I’d rather call a non binary or transgender person by their weird pronouns than by “they/them”
I'd call them 'it'
But that’s dehumanizing...
Since they blurred the lines of 'him' and 'her'
yea same I’d rather say ze and zem and not they and them
I wouldn’t go that far but I know what you mean
When you say it, it doesn’t sounds like you care or if you are even talking to a human
Language is changing through natural means
Not through forced coercion
Honestly man ill call ppl whatever they wanna be called but if ur a "she" and still look like a dude and I make the mistake of calling you a he then thats on you don't get mad at me
They have a mental illness, I am not putting on kiddie gloves for them
I know my purist thoughts would never get through because they are anti linguistic
I can’t just eliminate words from another language because “they corrupt the language”
So true!
there’s a reason there’s a they and them in English, and they always meant more than one
Pretty much.
But nowadays, it can also mean a person whose gender is unclear
Which is weird????
Like they made they not to cater for people with a preferred pronoun
Like it took me some time to comprehend it
I ain't never using their pronoun fuckery
I wonder if they made ze and zim so grammar nazis wouldn’t go after them
Wtf is ze zim
I wish you did but I can’t force you to use their pronouns and we are able to choose to comply
Progressive version of regular pronound
