It feels like (anecdote time) just over the last five or so years, "they" as a neutral singular pronoun has gone from a fringe concept for assholes to bitch about grammarwise (and they sometimes still do) to a very commonplace word. I hear it in sloptube videos and stuff, even goofy gamer ones. Truly a banger bloomer

makes me so happy for the inevitable acceleration of gender

Its amazing, truly love singular they.

I’ve always used it a lot lol. Never too into binary pronouns.

Unfathomably based, ngl. I was only introduced to it like eight years ago at all...

What would you have done if someone references a person and you want to refer to them without knowing their gender or similar cases? β€œHe or she?”

[–] [email protected] 6 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I probably used they-them to refer to unknown individuals, but honeslty back in middle school yeah, he or she. It was new to me at age 16.

It was new to me at age 16.

Maybe I’ve almost exactly made up for your lack of use then, lol.

Almost as if singular β€œthey” is a natural part of the english language that’s been around for centuries and all the people complaining about it were just transphobic soviet-hmm

Thank goodness a lot of people got over the "improper grammar" discourse, it would always piss me off when I saw many people making the same BS arguments.
