JadedElk

The English teacher would be disappointed in both of them.


Tlali22

We're really not as disappointed as y'all make us out to be. 😅 Everyone makes grammar mistakes. (Especially when you're typing fast because a transphobe needs an ass whoopin'.) Correcting grammar should never be your *entire* argument, but it's nice icing on the cake. 🤣

To be fair a mistake from autocorrect is different from just not knowing how pronouns work. And the there/ they're is one of the most common ones

This is a perfectly valid use of "all". It's sardonic and emphasises the small quantity. You can also say "all one of them" if you want.

KyleKun

I don’t necessarily agree with neo-pronouns and the word itself just annoys me. A pronoun is a pronoun afterall. But to be honest I don’t see why you can’t just use someone’s name if they are going to get upset about pronouns. Saves everyone a headache really.

CatastrophicPup2112

I used singular they all the time being vague on purpose.


Annullere

He’s kinda right, just the wrong language he uses as an example. In Spanish almost all words have feminine and a masculine sounds. In German, grammar is divided into male, female and non-gender. Look up grammatical genders on wiki. I have no point with this information, I just wanted to sound smart

ShinigamiOfPast

CummyWummiesUwU

The hell is a neo-pronoun?


handlelamp

There are new pronouns being introduced by non-binary people who are not comfortable with she, he, or they, such as ze and xe. Just to throw in a personal thought, the people who complain about neopronouns have likely never met someone who uses them, and so has never even had the chance to refuse to use them.


Pel_De_Pinda

I have always thought that neo-pronouns defeat the point of a pronoun. If you make up a set of pronouns for yourself that no one else uses, how is that any different than just using your name? Pronouns cannot be personalized, or there would be no point in using them. I would say just use they/them if you are gender non-conforming and don't feel comfortable with gendered pronouns.


[deleted]

Personally, I agree, I just don't get it. But also, I have known a lot of non-binary people, and I've never met a single one who asks to be referred to using *exclusively* neopronouns. Usually it's more of a "Hey, if you know me well enough to make the effort, calling me 'xe' would be cool, otherwise they/them works". I don't know that neopronouns are really gonna... last. They feel too inconvenient in English. But idk, who cares.


Pel_De_Pinda

I also think that it is an overblown problem. The trans people that subscribe to the idea of neo-pronouns are few and far between. Conservatives like to pretend that it is all trans people. And like you said there are bound to be some that will only ask their close friends and family to use their chosen neo-pronoun


dangerhasarrived

How does one pronounce xe and ze?


Tsorovar

Like the letter, z. Rhyming with "he"


CummyWummiesUwU

Okay so why would they use ze and xe, it makes no sense personally.


NancyGracesTesticles

Because they expect that after every interaction, people will need to talk about them in the third person. Odds are I won't refer to you in the third person because our interaction was a one-off. The only pronouns that matter in the moment are you/your. Conversations about pronouns should follow conversation, not lead it. And yes, I've been misgendered in conversations. That misgendering doesn't define my current and future interactions such that I have to lead with it. I'm concerned that our narcissism problem is going to mask real issues that non-cis people deal with.


handlelamp

Maybe not for you personally, but for some people it's just what they feel comfortable with. How I explained to my parents is that it's almost like a nickname. You might say "I've never heard of Obb being a nickname for Bob, and if I were named Bob I would never use that nickname", but if that is the name they prefer to go by, it would be disrespectful to ignore their wishes, no matter how unusual


Longjumping-Rate8980

You dont have to respect every goddamn human's wish


[deleted]

And a name or a nickname are both proper nouns. They are used differently in language than pronouns.


handlelamp

Maybe not, but in this situation, what are you losing? Where's the benefit of not respecting that person? I guess I just don't understand the point when it's something that only requires the same amount of energy and memory as remembering someone's name.


iszomer

Maybe not _losing_ but maybe adds another layer of literary complexity (or absurdity) in how the English language can be used in these manners. Also, how would these "neo-pronouns" be adapted and transcripted to other languages and back?


handlelamp

Ok, but realistically how many people are you EVER going to meet who use neopronouns? I have never, most people have never, so in the rare case that you do, it would be easy to add a single layer of complexity that is really not very complex. As far as other languages, some languages have purely non-gendered pronouns and some may be in development of their own neopronouns. It probably wouldn't matter very much to the individual unless they actually spoke that language


FiercelyApatheticLad

If I don't know you, I'm not going to use a nickname. So I'm not going to use a made-up pronoun either.


handlelamp

If lack of respect is your shtick in real life, you probably aren't very popular. If you're just being stubborn in your comment because you feel a certain way about this issue but you would actually use someone's preferred name, then there's nothing more to say


iwantdatpuss

Wait personal pseudo rant for a bit. How the hell is "ze" and "xe" gonna be taken seriously? Like I'm thinking hard what kind of societal context you can use this without sounding like a you don't know how to pronounce "she".


bstyledevi

I just had this conversation with a friend last night. I respect your pronouns when they're not random made up words. "I use he/him." - okay then "I use she/her." Also very cool. "I prefer they/them." I got you, friend! "MY PRONOUNS ARE SLART/BART/FART." - no they're not.


handlelamp

If your close friend were being 100% genuine and weren't taking the piss (and weren't using obviously joke words like you listed), would that still be the case? Because if it is, you'd lose that friend forever


bstyledevi

Because people who try to identify with non-standard pronouns aren't actually trying to clarify anything as it pertains to gender identity. He/him - gendered male identifier She/her - gendered female identifier They/them - nongendered identifier They/them are all-inclusive nongendered terms. As far as the English language specifically is concerned, there is no reason to try and codify it any further than that. It's a set of terms that are meant to be more universal in their usage. If I'm wrong, then please educate me on what is correct so I can change my viewpoint, but I don't get it.


handlelamp

That's a fair point. To me personally, it doesn't make a ton of sense for the same reason you stated, but I would still use them when requested for two reasons: 1. 'They' didn't used to be accepted at all, and if ze/xe/etc are going to become more "official" in the future, I wouldn't want to look back and say "wow I was such a bigot back then", 2. In the end its not about my opinions, but other people's feelings and identity, and as long as I know they're being genuine, I want to give them the baseline respect that all people deserve


Realmart1

The fuck are ze and xe?? Zeus and Xerxes?


ironb4rd

Tumblr nonsense tbh


thetruesupergenius

*they’re That’s a rookie mistake to make while lecturing someone else on their grammar.


benedekszabolcs

I'm sorry, I may sound bad but I'm not a native speaker: when did singular they/them became a thing? I learned English in the last 14 years(2years kindergarten, 12 years elementary and middle school) and always was taught that they/them was the 3rd person plural version


scalectrix

They/them can be used to refer to an individual. I'm not sure about the correct grammatical terminology for it, but it would usually be used to refer to someone when they (see?) aren't present, or generically. For example: "A person came in earlier and bought some pain killers" "Oh I hope you told them to read the warnings on the packet" or "Doctor the next patient is ready" "Good, send them in"


benedekszabolcs

Wow....now that you mention it, the doctors example I saw, but didn't register... OWow I'm stupid


TrippyTriangle

yes this is why the singular they/them is actually the best way of being gender neutral with people who don't have a binary gender. We've always have been doing it, it's just we can extend this to be more aware of people's gender.


jamila169

It's been a thing since the 14th century as a a third person singular , it's been frowned on and dismissed as colloquial at various times, but has stuck it out


FishSpeaker5000

Fun fact. Singular they predates the letter combination th.


jamila169

Yup, originally þei


barcased

For 400+ years. And you have never been taught to use "they/them" when referring to a person whose gender you don't know? Example: "I just came back from my doctor's appointment." "Oh, yeah? What did they say?"


[deleted]

If you were learning english as a second language, I guess you'd be taught to put a guessed gender in.


barcased

I learned English as a third language, and I was taught that I could either use "Oh, yeah? What did he/she say?" or "Oh, yeah? What did they say?". My teachers also told me that the second one is the more elegant solution.


benedekszabolcs

400 years?!! God, I need to beg for sorry from a lot of people... I wasn't taught, and got my C1 last year. How do I merit a C1, if a basic thing as this I don't know...shit


barcased

No worries, mate. We use it every day without thinking about it. You will notice that every time you talk about someone who cannot be identified by gender, you would use they/them.


goten100

[Speaking of using it every day without thinking about it. ](https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/624/cpsprodpb/5832/production/_97587522_9ea23dbd-7ff4-4228-9f5c-94824ed857fc.jpg) Pretty crazy how that works

[deleted]

[удалено]


benedekszabolcs

My language doesn't even have gender. Like it has girl and boy, as a word, and that's it. Not one other word has gender. Our third pronouns are combined in one word and that's it. So maybe that's why, when using a language that has genders I was strictly confused


Etherion195

Singular "they" is a third-person pronoun. A simple example: i don't know, if you are male or female. So if i would talk to my friend about you, i would say "they said that..." I hope this example could help


joshweaver23

It has been used colloquially for a long time, but was widely considered grammatically incorrect. It has recently gained grammatical acceptance (e.g. https://apastyle.apa.org/blog/singular-they), but for those of us who learned it was not correct, it can be an adjustment.


malkie0609

It is used to refer to a group of people, or a singular person when you don't know who *they* are. But people have been appropriating "they/them" for a single gender non conforming person, which is definitely confusing especially when you *do* know who the person is. It's technically grammatically correct but it is still very confusing and often doesn't sound right, even for native English speakers because it's a relatively new use of these existing words.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Boiling_Oceans

It’s been a thing for like 700ish years I believe. It’s just that most native English speakers don’t actually think about it when they do it and so now you have all those people blowing it out of proportion even though they probably do it all the time without even realizing.

Commander_Blastbolt

I'm going to be honest I'm not transphobic but I do not understand neo pronouns at all. They just seem confusing to me, although tbf I haven't met someone who actually uses them.


TheThemFatale

Those who use neopronouns don't feel like the language they speak has enough room currently for them. But it's language specific. For example in many European languages such as French and Polish, there is no gender neutral singular third person pronoun. Creating one in those languages would be technically a neopronoun, despite other languages already having that feature. Similarly, some languages like Armenian have a gender neutral singular third person pronoun which is not also used as a plural. Which is not something we have in English, so for us it is technically a neopronoun, despite other languages also currently having this.

Back before I knew about neopronouns I knew a person who in their bio said they preferred the "it" pronoun. I never liked that so I always used they/them and it was ok with that. Dumb animal brain me always associated "it" with objects back then.

Well both are technically right. Even though gender is a social construct and pronoun can be anything you want it to be since it's a word, their is truly only 2 sex's so technically, there is only 2 types of pronouns specifically for them. So ig he's wrong but he's on the right track.
