Please, please put Tilly on the bus to Mandyville to live with Raven, Gabbie and Angus.

I fully admit that this is my own personal bias/pet peeve. So in the spirit of the forums, I'll call it my head canon.
I reckon Jeoh has done this in an attempt to make you all think about the folly of leaping from an initial impression to instant character judgement.

Depends on what you mean by "character".
Because whether male, female or insert-appropriate-descriptor-here - Tilly's still an annoying bugger.
Today's strip has not helped. The character is being presented as both a hive of useless Hanners Trivia, with some apparent insane genius level negotiation skills... but also acts like a three year old... (Climbing over counter, standing on head.)
So, what's next?
"Oh Tilly's ON THE SPECTRUM! So you can't be annoyed at ...them...."
(I'm sorry that just SCREAMS grammatical curses at me.)

--- Quote from: Mr. Doctor on 30 Nov 2017, 02:10 ---I live in Sweden and I'm glad that we are starting to pick up a neutral pronoun "hen" (in contrast to han = he, and hon = she).***
I guess that's why the term they/them in singular confuses the hell out of me (on a purely linguistical way, mind you) because we already got a non-binary pronoun and leave the they/them for plurals only. :P
*** = Feel free to make any poultry jokes you like, cuz I can't come up with a single one.

Yeah... a singular would be a great addition to the language.
Y'see, I find this They/Them thing VERY difficult to take on, because for 50+ years I've been raised to think that calling someone THEY or THEM was unspeakably rude.

Finnish is handy in that, we only have one singular 3rd person pronoun, "Hän". Altho' the colloquial use of "Se", which originally means "It", is sadly getting more approval.
