Cool story. I liked the part about adding an emoticon.
Can we please, for the love of fuck, use “they” as the gender-neutral singular pronoun? Seriously, “they” has been proper usage since the time of Shakespeare. Get with the program. There are dozens of these shibboleths intentionally created by English teachers to distinguish between the type of people who follow rules created by English teachers and those who don’t.
Is the term “hir” accepted as a word now?
Google has a definition for it…
Ze (or zie, or sie) has got that going for hir.
Personally, I prefer Spivak’s system of e/ey - em - eir.
Google is lying to you.
I thought we were pitting Tollhouse? WTF is this shit?
Just so you know. I hates you right now.
One of the reasons that I like you is that you are trying to learn, AU. I never thought you were a troll, I thought you were just what you said you were. An arrogant kid who thought he was better than all the rest of us.
You are a smart kid, you are learning how to get along.
When I joined, I got lots of complaints about me not knowing how to use the shift key. People also complained about me not knowing how to use punctuation. I agreed that I was being sloppy and tried to get better.
We joined as newts, but we got better
your correct, some androgynous, trans and hermaphodite people prefer
‘hir’(him/her) and ‘hem’ (she/he)or at least this is how a hermaphodite friend prefers to be referred to, although hem does not get bent out of shape if you don’t, hir says change takes time.
I think it the case of a pitting I wouldn’t make the effort for manners and just say troll
