Reply: yeah a minor but vaguely interesting thing to come out of all this bigotry is that a large amount of people didn't realise you could use singular 'they'. Worse, some of them continue to be bemused by the concept.

We were actively told we shouldn't or couldn't until the style guides collectively decided to pull their heads out of their asses in 2016/2017.

Dirty Deeds Thunderchief posted:Ah yes, the beloved family holiday where everyone sits down to read the latest style guides lol but what did the style guides say? that writers should use the everyday "A citizen should call their state representative?" Or did they propose that publishers should properly proffer people's preestablished personal pronoun preferences?

Mescal posted:lol Wikipedia actually has good summaries from several guides. In your example, it sounds like a bunch of them would advise starting with "Citizens..." to "avoid any confusion" This group seems fun: quote:The American Heritage Book of English Usage (1996) edit: I've kept reading the page after posting and did not expect to find this: quote:The 2011 edition of the New International Version Bible uses singular they instead of the traditional he when translating pronouns that apply to both genders in the original Greek or Hebrew. This decision was based on research by a commission that studied modern English usage and determined that singular they (them/their) was by far the most common way that English-language speakers and writers today refer back to singular antecedents such as whoever, anyone, somebody, a person, no one, and the like."[148] greazeball has a new favorite as of 00:19 on Oct 7, 2021 |

He's a fictional character, but also a better person than literally everyone listed (except maybe Cristiano Renaldo, don't know enough about him).

He also complains when his teammates score goals but Goku whines when his friends kill people he would like to fight so they're equal there.

Isn’t goku canonically the dumbest person in existence? Like hugely strong but incredibly, insanely dumb? I’ve never seen the show, this is an honest question.

He’s less dumb and more naive. He was raised by an old man in the woods who he accidentally killed. So more like a country bumpkin

Goku is also basically asexual. It's canon that he's never even kissed Chi-chi, despite having two kids. No think, no kiss, just fight.

greazeball posted:I've kept reading the page after posting and did not expect to find this: Avoiding singular “they” in original writing is one thing, but declining to use it when translating from a language that features its own gender-neutral pronouns is just baffling. I know that Bible translators are stodgy, but I’m still surprised that it took them till 2011 to rectify their mistake. It’s simply a better translation that more accurately conveys the meaning of the original.
