What word would you use instead in this specific case?
- InDubioProRubio 2y ago[flagged]
- oneeyedpigeon 2y agoOk, and in this case, those pronouns are...?
- InDubioProRubio 2y agoI dont know, ask the commenter - he who reads OPs story and comments on it, projects himself into it when commenting on it.. there is no fixed answer to this.
- oneeyedpigeon 2y agoThere is a fixed answer: the neutral pronoun "they" which English speakers have been using for 700 years.
- defrost 2y agoIf you're not a native English speaker and need help with this then do feel free to ask. Many of us here have spoken English since birth and correctly used "they" in the manner above for several decades.
- oharapj 2y agoIt's so funny how outrage poisoned partisans have such crushing issues with pronouns. The word 'They' has been used to refer to individuals for hundreds of years. Get a life
- Nevermark 2y ago> It's so funny how outrage poisoned partisans have such crushing issues with pronouns. They might just be illiterate. Let’s all be charitable.
- inopinatus 2y agoI’ve been writing they to refer to individuals in the third person for five decades. Usage of they as a neutral singular pronoun began in the 14th century. Stercus alibi iace, outrage monkey.
