not_IOthey don't mind
SoupEvery single person who complains that “they” is weird has, without the slightest wisp of a shadow of a doubt, said something along the lines of “yeah their coat is just over there” or “I think they were saying that…”. They can already do it, and it’s not hard, they just really wanna hate.
They is running late?
You are singularly really dumb.
Second person vs third person, dummy. If you’re going to insult someone’s intelligence, at least be right about it.
Huh? I’m a dummy–teach me this arcane English rule that i wasn’t aware of until now.
For what it’s worth though: Have you always held such righteous standards for dialogue? Hard to follow what people are saying when they (oops!) speak with the wrong perspective? You must struggle in the modern world, the way people eviscerate our language publicly pretty much 24/7. I’d feel bad for you if you seemed like a decent person.
What arcane English rule?
Your rebuttal to my issue with the third person handling of a singular they, was you using the second person…as if that was related. Do you still not understand the difference? It’s not that I didn’t understand you, you were just wrong to use it as a counter example to what I said. Damn, you doubled down by showing how poor comprehension skills are.
Sure pal
Imagine the people who jumped down my throat because they kneejerk assumed I was dead naming, use that very things they attacked me over as their go to insult.
And in a manner I cannot even see.
Pick a lane.
No, you dummy. The reason we use “are” with “you” is because it was originally plural. However, language is mutable and ever-changing. You is almost exclusively used as singular now, yet it keeps the plural “are”. The point being, your statement that “they is” is wrong doesn’t prove anything. We use the “wrong” grammar for words all the time and we don’t care, until you can do it to hurt someone.
Hey dummy. I never said “they is” is wrong.
I’m the one arguing for that use. EVERYONE ELSE here decided to shit on me for it. So many people here wanting to argue about grammar that can’t even fucking comprehend what they read.
Where did I hurt anyone? You’re assigning shit to a vague statement on grammar that I never said it implied. Hair triggers the lot of you.
It’s because “they is” is not correct usage, even if it’s used as singular, just as “you is” isn’t. Saying “they is” makes it sound like you’re pointing out that it doesn’t work so therefor it must be plural. It’s “they are” even if used as singular.
As opposed to arguing about fake rules that don’t even exist in modern English, maybe just apply the slightest bit of logic. Language doesn’t work the way you are insisting it does, it’s not math.
Thy lizard brain clearly art too small to comprehend they were making…
