looking into old neutral singular pronouns and it is making me insane how many questionable choices there are that i rarely see authors using for the period. where are the characters using um as a pronoun.

#twist rambles #and the like. multiple incidents that theyre using xe for God??? fascinating.#if u want a rly good book on this- whats your pronoun beyond he or she by dennis baron (2020) has some rly good stuff. grammar and gender #also has some good resources. and the insane discourse around thon....#genuinely cant stop thinking abt le lim lis being taken from french pronouns and the creator being like umm well weve stolen a lot of words #from the french over time but if le gets into the pronoun spot we are trying to fill we will return some of the loan words from the french #and the amt of people just. mashing he and she together. its so beautiful.
