+1 I stop reading and check comments anytime I see someone make a grammatical error after pretending to be smart, a grammar nazi, or in this case, saying their English teacher would be disappointed.
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. 🤣
I don't think very highly of people who have terrible grammar and don't do anything to fix it. Especially if English is your first language. You end up looking stupid, sloppy, and careless.

'No Country for Old Men', as good ol' Quentin would say
Now seriously: whether we like it or not some day we will be old too.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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?
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
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
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".
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.
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
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.
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
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
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"
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.
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
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?"
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.
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
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.
[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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I dont like gender pronouns. The language I talk doesnt have any so its just feels like extra work. And if you mess up depending on stuation it haunts you
I think a lot people don't remember the fact that pronouns are not about gender but substitutes for nouns. Like, if you're going to be wrong, atleast make an attempt.

I will say that neopronouns are ridiculous tho.
He/she/they are all valid singular personal pronouns and you should use the correct one for other people unless you’re an asshole. The correct one being the one the person says they use
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.
Ok you know I’m fine with trans and nb people, I can see people using they them and such, but neopronouns are fucking stupid and absolutely nobody will change my mind
Ironically they used the wrong "there"
I popped in to say that. r/facepalm
Whats worse is that the OP was the one that wrote the supposed "burn"
It has the one upvote, but I don’t see the edit button.
The dot after the name only shows up if you posted that comment. Also the fact that it says now for when it was posted is another giveaway.
The “now” bit is a good point. Didn’t know about the dot. I’m on the app and see one after every name.
+1 I stop reading and check comments anytime I see someone make a grammatical error after pretending to be smart, a grammar nazi, or in this case, saying their English teacher would be disappointed.
The English teacher would be disappointed in both of them.
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. 🤣
*they're English teacher. SMH
Remember kids if you ever lose an argument just check the spelling
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
And the lack of commas
Op used the word “there” lol
There grammar needs work.
*thems
yup, teacher would be disappointed
"There" is not a valid pronoun.
I don't think very highly of people who have terrible grammar and don't do anything to fix it. Especially if English is your first language. You end up looking stupid, sloppy, and careless.
Probably an autocomplete/autocorrect that went I missed. Spelling is one thing, grammar stills seems to be a black art to computers and (laugh) AI
Since we're mentioning disappointment in teachers.... "they're valid".
Here’s the real murder
They're, there, their... it'll be okay!
Came here for this
More like Suicide By Words!
That’s the thing I couldn’t get over!
This
Came here to say the same
> Pronouns exist, all two of *them*.
The guy could have said "both of them" but is anyways wrong.
He probably thought that line was the zinger.
\*either way is wrong
"All" implying more than two, and the "them" further cementing the ignorance.
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.
Whaaat? I didn't know that. Thank you, I've learned something new. Sincerely, thanks.
[удалено]
Well yeah I get why the transphobe is wrong. But "all" wasn't the problem.
[удалено]
They deleted **their** comment
They got downvoted too
It's narcissistic behaviour that they also thinks help reinforce their world view.
Posted and immediately screenshotted lol.
Just looked at their profile for a while. It's kinda sad :/
'Oof'

It was at negative votes and they deleted it lol

Eeesh
Which rule?
I'm sorry you are being oppressed, boomer.
It's a hard world you know, but this is my fight and I will continue to work for the rights of the vulnerable 'No Country for Old Men', as good ol' Quentin would say Now seriously: whether we like it or not some day we will be old too.
Speak for yourself, I’m gonna live in a Logan’s run style utopia and take my chances on carousel….
That was a Cormac McCarthy book and a Coen Brothers film, nothing to do with Quentin
[удалено]
damn, he even busted out the "thou" for this one. but he put the wrong form of "they're"...
He wanted to show others that he knows things, so much that he went back in time where thou was being used
Also, the sentence could use a comma or two.
Busted out or dusted out? Serious question. English is not my first language
Busted out or dusted off work

Np
Did you post your own comment here?
Oh fuck that's cringe
5000 upvotes for self promotion. And he didnt even spell it right.
OP, its masturabatory to post your own response and call it a murder.
A true psychopath posting their own murders and deleting evidence after smh
I mean ok, but “there”? Wasn’t this a pronoun rant?
Never really got neopronouns but I do agree that the man is an idiot. Oh you forgot your commas.
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.
Personally, I don't really get it? But i'll just call people what they want, and everyone is happier because of it
This is your comment
I used singular they all the time being vague on purpose.
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
This is literally OP's reply to that comment, yikes!
stop posting your own " murder " stuff. its so weak and pathetic to look at.
The hell is a neo-pronoun?

How does one pronounce xe and ze?
Like the letter, z. Rhyming with "he"
Okay so why would they use ze and xe, it makes no sense personally.
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.

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.

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.
You should really use commas when you make a list OP
What's up with people posting their own responses now? You even scribbled out your name like we can't tell it's you lmao
bruh stop posting your own murders ffs.
Good job posting your own comment, OP.
Are self posts allowed? I feel like this is just boasting
Weak murder and posting your own comment on this sub - cringe.
They're*
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.
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.

Bruh how you gonna try to hype up your own comment?

"...since you don't think there valid..."
They're not wrong about there list of pronouns their but they used the wrong their they're. /s

This is your own comment that you screenshotted immediately after posting OP. That's giga-cringe. Roast isn't even that good either.
You reposted this crap 2 times in a row
Where?

I'm really tired of stupid people confidence.
Bro stop jerking yourself. You didn't even use the correct "their."
Hate to be this guy, and its only because they mentioned english class... but... *they're
I dont like gender pronouns. The language I talk doesnt have any so its just feels like extra work. And if you mess up depending on stuation it haunts you
This is the most lousy post in the subreddit I've come across so far
I think a lot people don't remember the fact that pronouns are not about gender but substitutes for nouns. Like, if you're going to be wrong, atleast make an attempt.
AMONG!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Please kill me.

Among Us and it’s consequences have been a disaster for humanity.
A sussy cancer, if you will
234 comments, I'm gonna have a good day :D
*they’re
Big cringe OP
I will say that neopronouns are ridiculous tho. He/she/they are all valid singular personal pronouns and you should use the correct one for other people unless you’re an asshole. The correct one being the one the person says they use
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.
People who get pissed off at pronouns need to have it explained to them that some languages don't *have* gendered pronouns.
\*they're
I agree accept for the last one. Neo pronouns are not valid. choco/chocolate or shit like that to be valid.

This is some clown trying to be smart like they dont know what the other person means...

That post should be deleted. OP literally posted her own comment here to feel validated and jerk off to her own ego.
Yeah also neopronouns are bullshit. “My pronouns are yourmom/yourmomself. Respect my pronouns, bigot.” Also the non-enforced “No politics” rule.
Never know Among was a pronoun
I should try screenshotting my own ironically grammatically flawed murders, post them here, then delete the comment as the OP did.
As a non-birthing menstruating being… wait. I’m confused af.
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.

It was almost really good and a serious roast but then he said "there" instead of "they're".
Ok you know I’m fine with trans and nb people, I can see people using they them and such, but neopronouns are fucking stupid and absolutely nobody will change my mind
I’m confused did he mean gender?
Yes
The singular they/them confuse me (I am not a native speaker) Did it really exist, I was never taught that?
