- kevinpet 16y agoThe inclusion of gendered pronouns is stupid, especially given that this is a language for talking to robots. Is a robot he, she or it? A virtual assistant modeled on the master? A female game avatar of a male human? What if the software developer's judgment differs from the user? When you're going for unambiguous, "oh, and of course pronouns need to indicate sex", is not a good start.
- Avshalom 16y agoit also runs into the problem that the page claims all nouns are non gendered, but there's no non gendered pronoun to refer to them with.
