Popular Post KhunLA Posted August 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2023 Just read a bio, on IMDB, using pronouns 'incorrectly' ... IMHO Actually the first time I've actually seen them (plural for things: pronouns) used for the alphabet folks. I actually had to start over, as thought I missed something, then it clicked ???? IMDB bio: "Quintessa Swindell was born on February 8, 1997 in New York, USA. They are an actor, known for Voyagers (2021), Black Adam (2022) and Euphoria (2019). In December 2020, they were cast in the role of Cyclone in the DCEU film Black Adam, starring Dwayne Johnson in the title role.Swindell is non-binary and they use they/them and he/him pronouns." Any reason why they (folks writing bios) couldn't simply use her name instead. I notice, the auto grammar correct, correctly identified it as a plural ... followed up with 'are' & 'were'.???? Making it even sillier. Using proper English: "Quintessa Swindell was born on February 8, 1997 in New York, USA. Swindell (They are) is an actor, known for Voyagers (2021), Black Adam (2022) and Euphoria (2019). In December 2020, Swindell (They were) was cast in the role of Cyclone in the DCEU film Black Adam, starring Dwayne Johnson in the title role.Swindell is non-binary and they (correctly used now) use they/them and he/him pronouns." Mind boggling and just silly. 7 3 4 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a good thing you don't teach at some schools in USA, or you'd be disciplined for not using they or them, we addressing or referring to them (proper use). You can be so offensive at times, creating a hostile environment for the melting snowflakes. ???? And if you continued, they (proper use) would file suit and probably win on those grounds.

He or she might be bisexual, but surely still classed as a singular person. Pretty sure a lot of this is attention seeking in these days of social media.

Popular Post VocalNeal Posted August 1, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 1, 2023 (edited) I can see maybe using them/they for a schizophrenic as potentially there are two people in there.???? But for me they/them is plural. 3rd person singular would be "it" As an actress do "they" expect two salaries?

How do you write a paper using pronouns for and alphabet folks references. That would be a hard task, and read when presented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, other things are more important in the world, like the price of beer, or rain, or the next news-blip about an MVA, where nobody was injured. Unless of course, you just lost your job, means of supporting your family, if some little snowflake gets offended because you used English the were you were taught. Just imagine being an English language teacher, and being forced to use pronouns improperly ... how ironic. How's that play out in the courtroom ????
