Comment on Does Hexbear mandate all users to specify their preferred pronouns?

  Because what you said doesn’t make any sense if you were being serious.

  Writing out a person’s full name/tag every time you reference them is not practical (see my previous comment), so one wouldn’t give this as reason against third person references in a serious discussion.

    So it’s easier to say thoim/shlu instead of ekky?

    If the genesis of the entire issue with chosen pronouns is about basic respect, personal convinience can take a back seat and we can adress a person by name.

    But then again, I’m often viewed as petty in my personal peeves.

    Better to just not talk about someone and instead just talk with the person.

      Really think hard about what you are saying. Next time you have a conversation, try mentioning no one else except the person you are talking to and yourself.

        Oh, don’t temp me.

        It’s been probably very clear by this point that English is not my native language but I can, with a degree of effort, have a conversation about a third person by naming said individual and use “person”, “individual” and other similar terms to refer to the absent third party without need to resort to pronouns.

        It takes some effort, the end result is a bit terse in english, but I can make it work.

        But, to repeat myself, better to not talk about someone else but instead talk with said person.

        Petty. But so satisfying.
