[Ads-l] Apparently brainless reporting on alternative 3rd person pronouns

[Mark Mandel]

WTF???


Am I missing something here, or is the business about archaic 2nd person
singular pronouns totally irrelevant?

PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) -- Wednesday is the inaugural International
Pronoun Day, designed to make people more concious of everyday speech, and
to respect others' gender identity.

*Words like thou, thy and thee are making a comeback, for those who do not
identify as male or female.*

"We do revert back to that old English because it is something where we
evolved from," said Nyk Robertson is Associate Director of Gender and
Sexuality initiatives at Swarthmore College.
