Hodgepodge posted:i mean, why not just it just call it a baby shower? except to remove the taint of poorness from implying that friends having a baby might have a use for related gifts  The baby shower and the gender reveal party are two separate events! The baby shower is for preparing a mom-to-be for her first child, while the gender reveal is for revealing the sex of a child-to-be regardless of birth order!E:

Militant Lesbian posted:I think they meant white people throwing a plantation themed party and hiring Black people to be their ‘set decoration’ for the party (and being killed by said white nonsense) Wasn't there some horribly white TV cook who did this with her wedding? EDIT: Yes, Paula Deen. It's amazing how she looks exactly like you think she would when you first hear that she's someone who would hold a slavery-themed wedding.

A Buttery Pastry posted:The second-person pronoun is the already neutral you (or thou/thee if you want to get archaic). They is third-person. Both can be used for singular and plural persons. Though I suppose you might no have been addressing me, despite quoting me, which might explain the grammatical confusion? Singular ‘they’ is a thing that has existed longer in english than singular ‘you’. “Did you see what A Buttery Pastry said? They actually said [...]”

I feel like the natural arc of the linguist is to hit the point where they realize that they'd following in the wake of the broader culture and explaining things for the sake of understanding them instead of leading a charge of purely rational expression, then retreating into studying some weird obscure language and getting into chair throwing fights about Sapir-Whorf

A Buttery Pastry posted:We're not talking singular/plural, but second/third-person. You replied to me using the third-person, despite the person you were replying to (me) being the subject of the sentence. It's completely orthogonal to the discussion of singular they. Well, it’s easier to realize you are the same person who posted the original quip about the plantation themed party when you aren’t expressing confusion about the concept of a plantation themed party halfway down the page. (I didn’t look at the names enough to realize you were the same person as the OP. I don’t look at names, I  )

This all could have been avoided if it it had simply been written A Buttery Pastry posted:"They" = me. But yes, exactly. with quotation marks.

All it does is hurt their credibility with everyone now since it was on loving TV and it was the goddamn world series which seemed like the entire world was booing him. It wasn't like a small group in a corner protesting, it was the entire loving stadium standing up and booing at him. You can't spin that at all.
