my/me
hmmm....
pronouns are none, do not refer
-
do not refer to me
...And that's what we programmers call a memory leak!
-
Also, please do not observe me. Or make any sudden moves in my vicinity. I am feral and have anxiety
-
This is like the chicken game, isn't it?

My native language (Türkish) does not have grammatical gender. Gender in grammar is just silly and useless.
-
I need to know which inanimate objects I can fuck without it being gay, constantinoplelu.
-
pretty sure it's all gay.

That's part of why I just use They in English for everyone. Less having to learn people's whatever; I don't care. You're cis male he? Don't care, you're a they now. More room left in brain. We can fix this shit right now.

No. Language needs as many possible structures and rules as well as millions of exceptions and oddities so it is really hard to learn.

I can't agree more

I do not use pronouns, and I don't think you or they should use them either.

I, you, they, them

AceFuzzLord can't wait for the use of all pronouns to be banned and English papers won't be legally allowed to use basic words such as "I", "Me", "You", etcetera. That'll teach the libs!

what, which, who, whom, whose, this, that, these, and those, everybody, either, none, and something,
Amongothers. It's ironic conservatives know so little grammar that they can't even add "personal" to before "pronouns" to make it at least slightly more accurate, but no.

None ate the cabbages. None then went home full and happy.

Culture War aside, that's not how language works. You have as much understanding to the history of language as you have basic dignity to other human beings.
-
Believe it or not, languages change over time. They grow and adapt to fit their context.

Leave language alone motherfuckers not speaking in Old English. smh

Bold take, here on Lemmy. Let's see how it goes for them

But... you can change all of those things, adverbs, participles, adjectives, predicates, you can change all of them by changing your behaviour and characteristics... You can't even get your own stupid arguments to be correct.

nuh uh.
Newfangled terminology
Thoughts on prescribing use of the OG word only?
You don't get to change your adverbs, participles, adjectives, predicates, etc.
True, not in repressive societies. And look, I have limits, I’ll be hard pressed to refer to someone as squirrelkinlifragilisticexpialidocious every time. But you’d made a reasonable accommodation in polite company I figure?
