Huh? You mean you should not refer to your coworkers as "he" or "she" when they are a man and a woman, respectively?
This doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
- jkelsey 13y agoAre you being purposely obtuse? The root of this entire thread was around the use of the word "Queen" to criticize a female coworker. Please don't take my point out of context. If you really want to have a argument over semantics, then I'll amend my original argument to say "veiled gender pronouns".
- theorique 13y agoNo, I think I'm getting thrown off by the correct definition of the word pronoun. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pronoun http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pronoun "Queen" is not a pronoun, gendered or otherwise, it's a noun that refers to a female person.
