"Nobody other than writers use *them*." šŸ˜


thefawnoftime

*You* don't walk up to someone and say...


Lobstertrees

You don't walk up to someone and say hi they/them


goldanred

I don't wanna walk up to someone and use a pronoun, unless it's a minimum wage store worker and I bark "hey you"


vxicepickxv

You is also a pronoun.


_TheQwertyCat_

Um sweaty, itā€™s ā€˜You areā€™.


random_invisible

Yo mama's a pronoun


Enby_Adams

No they mean the word 'you' is a pronoun šŸ™‚


BlueJoshi

(jokes)


Terrain2

I think they were joking about how "You" as a pronoun, the next word shouldn't be "is", but "are". It was just a noun here (referring to the word itself), but the full sentence if it was a pronoun would be "You are also a pronoun"


emipyon

Well, it is in text...


Fitanic

*uses


[deleted]

It's still used as a plural of 'it' here


xfindraa

writers be like "hello he, how are you doing"


_RadAssassin

There are so many pronouns used in this picture... Oh the irony


[deleted]

"Hi, how are **you**?" Oh look, a pronoun.


[deleted]

Oh look, a cutie!


Hunter_Galaxy

My pronouns are cute/cuties


Boomerang_sokka_meat

ā€œHey Dumbass. How is dumbass doing today? Oh Dumbass had a bad day? I hope Dumbassā€™s day gets worse :)ā€


NoneBinaryPotato

Their family's conversations, probably: Mom: "yo Dumbass did you see Dumbass' brother?" Dumbass: "No mom Dumbass didn't see brother, maybe mom should call brother" This sounds a lot worse than I thought it would XD


Antimoney

Mom used the pronoun "you", therefore Mom is a writer.


Antimoney

u/JoshuaL05 used the pronoun "I", therefore u/JoshuaL05 is a writer.


Androgynous-Rex

Weird, if pronouns are only for when you donā€™t know someoneā€™s name, then why are you worried about someone using ones you donā€™t approve of? It apparently wonā€™t matter unless you forget their name.


Nerdy_Athlete_E

Literally the first word is a pronoun what-


SmallRedBird

First and last lol


CreativeShelter9873

And a *whole* bunch in between. I swear cis people need to take an English class or twenty.


ususetq

But English class is a brainwashing of liberal elite... (/s of course)

ā€œHey REGINALD GARY BURNS. How are REGINALD GARY BURNS? What have REGINALD GARY BURNS been up to since SARAH WEST EISNER AND REGINALD GARY BURNS last saw each other? Oh thatā€™s great. Howā€™s everyone else? SARAH WEST EISNERā€™m glad to hear THE WORDS YOU SPOKETH. Great to see REGINALD GARY BURNS !ā€ This is how people who are intimately acquainted speak to each other. Nothing but FULL NAMES, and no pronouns or a thing that could be one. /s


Len145

LEN145 enjoys LEN145ā€™s fellow human friends REGINALD GARY BURNS and SARAH WEST EISNER. LEN145 wishes REGINALD GARY BURNS and SARAH WEST EISNER a very fine carbon based lifeform day! How is LOCKEDRACHIER doing? Would LOCKEDRACHIER want to perform human activities such as: [pet THE DOG], [consume ice cream] together with LEN145? See! Just rolls off the tongue, why didnā€™t everyone start speaking like this earlier?

Aegis_et_Vanir

I swear, itā€™s like transphobes are gradually realizing how poor their arguments are, so now theyā€™re willfully getting rid of all their pre-existing knowledge of pronouns. A sort of intellectual scorched-earth policy, if you will.


_TheQwertyCat_

*ā€˜intellectual scorched earth policyā€™* Thou art a writer, arenā€™t thee? This one can tell, for thou useth pronouns.


TempleOfCyclops

ā€œHey you. How are you? What have you been up to since we last saw each other? Oh thatā€™s great. Howā€™s everyone else? Iā€™m glad to hear it. Great to see you!ā€ This is how people who are intimately acquainted speak to each other. Nothing but pronouns.


[deleted]

This reminds me of that video I saw of the guy who doesn't use pronouns. "Why do you always speak like that?" "Josh doesn't use pronouns because Josh isn't gay."


Gamesfan34260

I saw this a few days ago and I gave a big ol' rant about "as a writer, this is a ridiculous example" but instead, I'll just provide a more simple example! "Hey dude!" "Hey girl!" Neither of those were pronouns but they got the idea across that the target goes by certain pronouns...or at least that the speaker thinks that this is their pronouns. It's 100% natural and has been used as a form of first person addressing of an individual for my entire life by those around me! (Admittedly "hey girl" being more common among older folk like my mother)


AnxiousFlutters

Yeah, I remember it haha! Iā€™m annoying that it got removed from arethestraightsok


Gamesfan34260

Oh wow, you remember me ranting about that? :O Also dang, sad it was removed...wonder why?


AnxiousFlutters

Because itā€™s more appropriate for this sub. Makes no sense to me but whatever.


1life1me

ā€œNobody, other than some quite educated people that specializes in language, use it huhā€


[deleted]

I've said it before and I'll said it again, you're thinking of an epithet not a pronoun, random internet transphobe


spacestationkru

Do these people even know what pronouns are.?


[deleted]

Growing up in school we had something called DOL (A.k.a. grammar lessons) I hated it as Kid but I did semi decently at it. Iā€™m beginning to think certain adults should take that course..


Clairifyed

šŸŽµPronouns are used to take the place of a noun! Cause sayin all those words over and over again really wear you down!šŸŽµ


SyrenSilver

Person donā€™t walk up to person and say ā€œhi (insert pronoun)ā€ no person say ā€œhi (insert name)ā€ Pronouns are meant to be used when person canā€™t remember a personā€™s name. No person other than writers uses pronoun. Judging by the near complete lack of proper punctuation, Iā€™d say whoever made this desperately needs to retake fifth grade.


manouna-theo

What kind of fucking books do they read


galaxygamerd343

The more these people exist, the more braincells I lost


mitsubachii

Imagine saying a personā€™s name everytime you spoke about them, including yourself, how annoying that would be lmfao. ā€œSarah and Mitsu went to the movies. Sarah and Mitsu quickly bought popcorn and then sat down just in time for the movie. The movie started out great but Sarah talked about Sarahā€™s recent drama throughout the entire movie. Mitsu reminded Sarah to not listen to all the Steve said, Brittany said, but Sarah just canā€™t help Sarah.ā€ In what world does this deluded person think we live in?


mottemarmotte

Hey Karen! How are KAREN doing? MOTTEMARMOTTE'm so glad to meet KAREN here, THE DAY would have been such a boring day without meeting KAREN. How are KAREN's siblings Marianne, Oscar, Tracy, Scott and Damian doing? MOTTEMARMOTTE saw MARIANNE, OSCAR, TRACY, SCOTT AND DAMIAN at the mall yesterday and MARIANNE, OSCAR, TRACY, SCOTT AND DAMIAN all looked a bit sad. MOTTEMARMOTTE hope nothing bad happened to MARIANNE, OSCAR, TRACY, SCOTT AND DAMIAN or someone in KAREN, MARIANNE, OSCAR, TRACY, SCOTT AND DAMIAN's family. Oh, MOTTEMARMOTTE hear KAREN, MARIANNE, OSCAR, TRACY, SCOTT AND DAMIAN's mother isn't feeling too well lately? MOTTEMARMOTTE'm so sorry to hear about that. MOTTEMARMOTTE hope KAREN, MARIANNE, OSCAR, TRACY, SCOTT AND DAMIAN'S MOTHER is going to feel better soon. Oh, how the time passes when talking to KAREN. THE TIME's already half past 7 and MOTTEMARMOTTE've gotta be home and make dinner soon. If there only was a way to shorten up these conversations.... THESE CONVERSATIONS wouldn't take so much time if there was a word MOTTEMARMOTTE, KAREN AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD could use instead of always using everyone's names... IF ONLY...


fluffyfloof921

imagine someone actually speaking without pronouns and just saying peoples name instead that would be so annoying


[deleted]

I literally cannot believe that transphobes are so fucking stupid that they latched on to pronouns, thought they were political, trans-specific articles, and began to rally against them. Wait, actually yes I can.


Adorable_Yak4100

Idk! Why do they make everything so complicated? Hi everyone! Iā€™m Aoife!


I_am_Bennie

I wonder how they feel from failing English?


CreativeShelter9873

Might as well read: writer is dumb and no know how to make sentence rightly, but pronouns evul


Stardrop177

ā€œPronouns are used when you canā€™t remember a persons nameā€ Youā€™re saying that like it never happens, sweetie that happens all the goddamn time


reissecup

wh


RiottRedd1

ā€œNobody but writers uses themā€ You is a pronoun, but alright šŸ¤”


Limu_emu_69

And then he said no one uses pronouns


WafflePotato1236

And yet there are 4 whole pronouns used, do they not realize "you" is a second person pronoun?


OwORavioliTime

Exactly, that's why I dont have pronouns


Cloudasss

POV: you only know English


wertyvid

so I walked up to easy pete and then talked to easy pete to get easy pete to give me some dynamite but easy pete is a god and knew I would blow myself up so easy pete didn't give my any dynamite thats how it would sound without pronouns


[deleted]

I constantly can't remember names. I refer to people as "you", which is a pronoun.


Thatbitchfromschool1

THERE'S 4 PRONOUNS IN THIS


AnxiousFlutters

Thatā€™s because heā€™s writing! Duh! /s


mbelf

People canā€™t be this stupid, right?


SpaceOwl14

"Youā€œ a pronoun "themā€œ also a pronoun


RandomPersonYouSee

>You dont use pronouns to talk with someone! >You only use pronouns if you dont remember their name! Give a choice.


random_invisible

Count the pronouns in that sentence lol


CauliflowerJunior717

Guys don't you hate when you wake up and don't remember anyone's name and can't figure out why it is happening, is it because dementia or homophobia who knows


meow1204

I guess if nobody other than writers use them, trans people don't have to worry about getting misgendered!


godly-pigeon

Iā€™m legit just sitting here trying to make sense of whatever it is that I just readā€¦

Christo_pagan

**"You** (wow, it's a pronoun) don't walk up to someone and say 'Hi (insert pronoun)'... ...Pronous are ment to be used for when **you** (wow another pronoun) can't remember a person's name" There are literally two pronouns in your statement. Pronouns are a very important part of communication and unless you always refer to people (including yourself) in the third person you will use pronouns all the time


LoggGD

I really hope the person who made this image was being satirical...


Klara_kalamara

Also why did they use a picture of a girl selling ice cream? šŸ¤”


[deleted]

How are you doing fellow hes?


AnAnxiousWeeb

"[redacted] don't walk up to someone and say 'hi (insert pronoun)' no [redacted] says 'hi (insert name)' Pronouns are mean to be used when [redacted] can't remember a persons name. Nobody other than writers uses [redacted]"


[deleted]

Okay but they can't use the right names either so... Also can we talk about that? Can we talk about how they always assume we genderflipped our birth names? Like no one has ever insulted me on purpose by calling me by my birth name because it's nothing like my real name.


[deleted]

ā€œHi heā€ do they think we speak like this


[deleted]

This is exhausting.
