I accept his argument but it is tilting at windmills. Is it valid to engage in mass erasure of a historical record to suit outmoded ideas? The issue here is that an existing word has acquired a new usage and the old guard isn't happy with the change. There was once much grousing about youths failing to properly conjugate second person pronouns. Now it's anachronistic to use them.
- emodendroket 4y ago"You" is still around so we do still have second-person pronouns.
- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoUsed "incorrectly" in place of thee, thou, and thy in familiar speech.
- emodendroket 4y agoYes, I know, but we are not without second-person pronouns at all; we just no longer have separate singular and plural ones.
- bombcar 4y agoY’all is coming so you best be ready for the second person plural.
