Ooh did I skip the โitโs?
I, it, it, me, someone, me, I, I, they, me. Now Iโm counting ten. I donโt believe โmyโ is a pronoun? Maybe Iโm not counting the โthatโ?
Yeah, I know, just having a little grammar fun. Itโs just a little silly to say โI want to make it illegal to teach pronouns.โ Throw that neo- prefix in there!
Of course, the issue is that โtheyโ does have a centuries-old history of being used as a third-person singular pronoun, specifically when the gender is unknown, and then you have historical oddities like โthonโ, a third-personal singular from the 1933 Websterโs dictionary. Maybe 1932. So being against โneoโ doesnโt quite cover everything. English! One of the most fluid, malleable, and fascinating languages in the world.
Letโs just be glad itโs not like German, Latin, or Chinese, where there are strict rules about how the language can develop, with the latter two having their development actually handled by government authority.
