OT: Pronoun Precedence

I got it: To stay out of trouble you better stay away from University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.

Sounds like shit. :)

S/he is an invented problem. Just use singular 'they', it's perfectly good English...

A: "There's someone at the door for you!"

B: "OK, ask them what they want."

In British English, the above exchange would be quite normal - is it not so in US English?

Of course, when you don't know the gender.

I was just poking fun at the incessant PC police crap. ...Jim Thompson

Yes, they do often seem to invent problems where problems don't really exist.

"A he-she" is the common colloquialism, so it should be: He/She/It, which can sound like "He Shit".

Don't expect Jim to be up on current use though.

The wine isn't just eating at his liver.

What do you mean "where problems don't really exist." Someone has been offended!!! Mikek

You mean there isn't a pound of polyps up Jim Tripeson's ass from all that boy fun he had (gave) back in college?

What do you mean, "what do you mean "where problems don't really exist""?

I am deeply offended. How dare you violate my human rights in this manner? I demand compensation!

Cheers

you can go to a safe space:

"equipped with cookies, coloring books, bubbles, Play-Doh, calming music, p illows, blankets and a video of frolicking puppies"

There is a mind boggling amount of feminist/SJW bat shit insane nonsense coming out of universities these days

"..obviously necessary.."?? Dew Tell (as in original don't ask don't tell).

"..in order to not offend anyone.." So, to be absolutely positively sure, then offend EVERYONE.

"..certainly infinite number of genders.." Dew Tell.

Yes... _BE_ a pronoun! Close friends then can call you "p".

"They" implies plural..

Then say "someone is at the door" and say "ask what is wanted" .. avoid the BS. Or,offend and say "some twit is at the door" and say "ask the idiot what s wanted".

Don't whine too much, i will have to get the cheese..

The writer of that junk??

It is the correct pronoun for a schizophrenic.

We must extent the s/he-it to s/he-it-they to offend the schizophrenic.

I am of that old age... yank chains >:-} ...Jim Thompson

May I suggest that you use "thou" as the second person singular nominative pronoun instead. Also "thee", "thy" and "thine" for second person singular oblique, genitive, and possessive respectively.

Add the olive oil and you'll (almost) have the mediterranean diet.

Dear DecadentLoooooser, You didn't read the URL/article that I referenced... the article suggested the standard as "she/he"... I added "it" for completeness >:-}

Turns out my liver is in good shape... the corrosion was in the colon.

Which is pretty much what I eat... plus red meat every week or so. ...Jim Thompson
