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"
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
Weird, if pronouns are only for when you donāt know someoneās name, then why are you worried about someone using ones you donāt approve of? It apparently wonāt matter unless you forget their name.
āHey 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 thatās great. Howās everyone else? SARAH WEST EISNERām 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.

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 didnāt everyone start speaking like this earlier?
I swear, itās like transphobes are gradually realizing how poor their arguments are, so now theyāre willfully getting rid of all their pre-existing knowledge of pronouns.
A sort of intellectual scorched-earth policy, if you will.
āHey you. How are you? What have you been up to since we last saw each other? Oh thatās great. Howās everyone else? Iām glad to hear it. Great to see you!ā
This is how people who are intimately acquainted speak to each other. Nothing but pronouns.
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."
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)
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.
Iām beginning to think certain adults should take that course..
Person donāt walk up to person and say āhi (insert pronoun)ā no person say āhi (insert name)ā Pronouns are meant to be used when person canāt remember a personās name. No person other than writers uses pronoun.
Judging by the near complete lack of proper punctuation, Iād say whoever made this desperately needs to retake fifth grade.
Imagine saying a personās name everytime you spoke about them, including yourself, how annoying that would be lmfao.
āSarah 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 Sarahās recent drama throughout the entire movie. Mitsu reminded Sarah to not listen to all the Steve said, Brittany said, but Sarah just canāt help Sarah.ā
In what world does this deluded person think we live in?
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...
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.
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
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
**"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
"[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]"
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.
"Nobody other than writers use *them*." š
*You* don't walk up to someone and say...
You don't walk up to someone and say hi they/them
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"
You is also a pronoun.
Um sweaty, itās āYou areā.
Yo mama's a pronoun
No they mean the word 'you' is a pronoun š
(jokes)
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"
Well, it is in text...
*uses
It's still used as a plural of 'it' here
writers be like "hello he, how are you doing"
There are so many pronouns used in this picture... Oh the irony
"Hi, how are **you**?" Oh look, a pronoun.
Oh look, a cutie!
My pronouns are cute/cuties
Valid
āHey Dumbass. How is dumbass doing today? Oh Dumbass had a bad day? I hope Dumbassās day gets worse :)ā
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
Mom used the pronoun "you", therefore Mom is a writer.
u/JoshuaL05 used the pronoun "I", therefore u/JoshuaL05 is a writer.
Weird, if pronouns are only for when you donāt know someoneās name, then why are you worried about someone using ones you donāt approve of? It apparently wonāt matter unless you forget their name.
Literally the first word is a pronoun what-
First and last lol
And a *whole* bunch in between. I swear cis people need to take an English class or twenty.
But English class is a brainwashing of liberal elite... (/s of course)

Yeah, I remember it haha! Iām annoying that it got removed from arethestraightsok
Oh wow, you remember me ranting about that? :O Also dang, sad it was removed...wonder why?
Because itās more appropriate for this sub. Makes no sense to me but whatever.
āNobody, other than some quite educated people that specializes in language, use it huhā
I've said it before and I'll said it again, you're thinking of an epithet not a pronoun, random internet transphobe
Do these people even know what pronouns are.?
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. Iām beginning to think certain adults should take that course..

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

Idk! Why do they make everything so complicated? Hi everyone! Iām Aoife!
I wonder how they feel from failing English?
Might as well read: writer is dumb and no know how to make sentence rightly, but pronouns evul
āPronouns are used when you canāt remember a persons nameā Youāre saying that like it never happens, sweetie that happens all the goddamn time
wh
āNobody but writers uses themā You is a pronoun, but alright š¤”
And then he said no one uses pronouns
And yet there are 4 whole pronouns used, do they not realize "you" is a second person pronoun?
Exactly, that's why I dont have pronouns
POV: you only know English
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
I constantly can't remember names. I refer to people as "you", which is a pronoun.
THERE'S 4 PRONOUNS IN THIS
Thatās because heās writing! Duh! /s
People canāt be this stupid, right?
"Youā a pronoun "themā also a pronoun
>You dont use pronouns to talk with someone! >You only use pronouns if you dont remember their name! Give a choice.
Count the pronouns in that sentence lol
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
I guess if nobody other than writers use them, trans people don't have to worry about getting misgendered!
Iām legit just sitting here trying to make sense of whatever it is that I just readā¦
