Gyrre:
Ja ja, other forum, I'm posting this in both.


For all the people arguing about conjugation; take the side of your palms opposite your thumbs and place them on the sides of your head in front of your auricles (the wedge bit in front of your ear holes). Now say "they is" alloud.

Did you just cringe? How bad was it?

Considerably less bad than the cringing that occurred when I read a post about someone's condescension toward "non-standard" vernacular.

Well, no, I didn't cringe; I believe "they is" is a proper construct in AAVE, which is not a dialect I speak, but also not one that's cringe-inducing. I suppose my main view is, "you continue to conjugate for 'they' in the way that you normally do," and what that means may vary for the speaker.

TinPenguin:
I feel compelled to post this joke I just read. I take no credit.

Why did the non-binary prospector move west in 1849?
Because there was gold in them/their hills.

Tova:
I think the random puns thread beat you to it. :)
