- drfxyjhdyfrhgc 5y agoIf someone chooses a male pseudonym, is it sensible for everyone to individually decide what pronouns to use? This strikes me as opposed to similar etiquette.
- perl4ever 5y agoI always liked the singular "they". It was supposedly normal usage for hundreds of years before some prescriptivists tried to stamp it out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they "The singular they emerged by the 14th century,[3] about a century after the plural they. It has been commonly employed in everyday English ever since then and has gained currency in official contexts. Singular they has been criticised since the mid-18th century by prescriptive commentators who considered it an error."
