Probably Magic posted:Do... do people not use "one" anymore? It still works if you want to do generalized singular, "they" would be awkward in that context. I’m pretty sure they/their is the academic standard now but I’ve been out of that world for a long time (and was only ever in it as a student anyway) VitalSigns posted:Ah yes, the D&D 3rd edition Players Handbook solution I tried to find a media clip or two of someone saying it but I just got inundated with articles about people for/against it. But it was just Latin-X every time, like a ninja turtles mutagen that turns you into a centurion I remember seeing some people saying it should be latinks for some unholy reason but I’ve never actually heard that pronounced

Nothus posted:What starts as academic make-work eventually filters out into greater professional-class society as students graduate and move on. I would say the opposite, since you would expect academics to understand the difference between thought and speech, limits of conceptualization versus linguistic rules, gender in language and human sex, social gender etc.

If you had an undergraduate who confidently wrote that Achilles had no notion of being embodied because only his limbs and soma, corpse, could be described, you would assume they had been kicked by a mule.

mags posted:iirc one of the biggest issues with latinx is that the -x suffix in spanish doesnt make sense It works fine in writing when 'x' can be a wildcard or placeholder for 'o' or 'a' not a letter to be pronounced. Latino/a or s/her are also unpronounceable. So is Latin?[a,o] but computer coders can use expressions like that without a problem because they write code and don't generally speak it. Not surprising that Latinx came out of academia which primarily works through written communication. It's just that, if you want to solve the issue in speech, you need to come up with something that people can, you know, actually pronounce

It is all very well and good to pursue these high-minded scientific theories, but research grants are expensive. You must justify your existence by providing not only knowledge but concrete and profitable applications as well.

Some civilian workers got in among the research patients today and became so hysterical I felt compelled to have them nerve stapled. The consequence, of course, will be another public relations nightmare, but I was severely shaken by the extent of their revulsion towards a project so vital to our survival.
