woelkchenAs a non-native speaker, I really have a lot of problems using a plural word as singular. When I read it, I always have to read twice to check whether one or more people are meant. I rather read and use âshe/heâ even with the additional typing.
Some people don't identify as either of those. And there already is a common word that can be used for either singular or plural, which is "you."
And English is imprecise for âyouâ as well. For he/she/it grammar at least doesnât change. Substitute that pronoun for they and suddenly the grammar switches to plural. That totally confuses me.
âTheyâ can quite happily function as singular. I asked my friend about this and they gave me their opinion. They told me that they use âtheyâ or âthemâ to discuss people when their biological sex is unimportant or unknown. I would like to ask them more but they have to leave. They tell me that theyâll be back later.
They (singular) say something. He/she/it says something. They (all) say something. You (all) say something. I say something. You (singular) say something. Youâll notice âhe/she/itâ seems to be the irregular outlier here. English is strange.
Yeah without the singular they your English is bad. Sucks for non native speakers but itâs how our language works.
Yeah - thatâs probably all true. Most people seem to cope with âyou singularâ and âyou pluralâ in English but struggle with âthey/them singularâ and âthey/them pluralâ. Iâm not sure why.
âHe goesâ. Correct.
âShe goes.â Correct.
âIt goes.â Correct.
âThey goes.â Wrong. And thatâs just confusing for people who never ever were taught that in any form of education. I know itâs an old construct and not a new innovation but for people like me it feels just off. Itâs not malice on my part to act against different genders, Iâm just explaining why that part of the English language is weird
âI goesâ. Incorrect
âThey goesâ. Incorrect
âI goesâ. Incorrect âThey goesâ. Incorrect
You donât understand that one is first person singular and the other is not? Is your basic English really so much worse than mine?
First person singular and third person singular. Both singular.
Itâs not wrong, itâs just generally offensive since colloquially âitâ refers to objects rather than a individual.
And as it follows, âitâ is used as a insulting term when people want to dehumanize something.
you donât understand the language and thus everyone should comply with you? iâd rather read correct english than what you find more understandable
You obviously understand English to a lesser degree than me. I nowhere wrote that I made demands to comply with me. Where on earth do you get that idea that offering a perspective is a demand?
then use âtheyâ, do you speak exclusively with yourself? your linguistic choices affect others, just like othersâ linguistic choices affect you (as you were noticing and complaining about)
then use âtheyâ
After 30 years of education saying otherwise it is not so easy.
do you speak exclusively with yourself?
I donât speak English with others at all. Iâm not in an English speaking country.
your linguistic choices affect others
Having a hard time grasping completely new concepts is not a choice.
Is âHeâ not correct grammatically speaking?
Letâs be real here, Iâve seen every post about Lady Bird and every time someone comes in to make a huge nothing burger about this PR. Yall are just a gigantic mob out for blood for absolutely no reason.
Your concern should be whether or not the browser works, its not even finished ffs. If this were a released, absolutely 100% complete app, then sure! Go and be pessimistic about grammar. However I can garauntee you they have bigger obstacles to overcome.
âtheyâ ist kein Pluralwort. âtheyâ ist ein Pronomen der 3. Person Singular sowie der 3. Person Plural. Das ist genau so, wie âyouâ ein Pronomen der 2. Personal Singular und der 2. Person Plural ist.
âtheyâ ist kein Pluralwort.
And yet the grammar attached with its use is plural and thatâs super weird. âThey goes to the storeâ is just wrong.
