I'm not a native speaker, so genuine question: is this a common thing or a Stallman thing?
- quicklime 6y agoIt's explained here: https://stallman.org/articles/genderless-pronouns.html https://stallman.org/articles/genderless-pronouns.html tl;dr - "perse" is his preferred gender-neutral pronoun
- buffaloo 6y agoMy gender-neutral pronoun is to clap three times and spin around in a circle. It is written in one of three symbols, “he”, “she” or “it” - which are haphazardly selected and unpronounceable.
- unmole 6y agoIt's a Stallman thing: https://stallman.org/articles/genderless-pronouns.html https://stallman.org/articles/genderless-pronouns.html
- dvfjsdhgfv 6y agoI love his sense of humor: "In response to this article, someone lectured me for believing that languages don't change. Perse did not trouble first to inquire whether that's what I believed."
- chapium 6y agoIt gets better... Which reminds me, I once joined a few acquaintances for a ride on the pleasure boat one of them owned. He pointed at another boat and told us it was a yawl. I waved and said, "Hi, yawl!"
