Annemoon:
'They' as a gender neutral pronoun is actually my favorite to use, because I've seen it used in language like this before; it makes a lot of sense to me.
As ihaveavoice nicely shows.

"What'd they say?"

Not that I wouldn't use other pronouns if people ask, but you know, this is the one where I'm least likely to make a mistake.
I would also just naturally use this if I wouldn't know the gender of the person.

I do get giddy by the use of they in the case of Yay, because it fits both ways. They are a being without gender, and somewhat of a multitude.
It's the small things in life~

Silver lining: at least in the hypothetical where Elliot  is a delivery guy that forgot the food, mrs. Augustus is being extremely polite about it. If she was mad about it, Thisd go from "awkward but pretty funny in hindsight" to "should we still have dinner tonight, or can we just not?"

zisraelsen:
Comic!

Pleased to meet you, Aurelia!

Farideh:
Mrs Augustus now has a first name! Quite nice :)

I wonder what she wasn't expecting, though...

- Such a hunk?
- Such a tall person?
- Such a male person?


Anyway, I'm glad that Jeph didn't drag that misunderstanding out.

Torlek:
Bad Aurelia! No poaching your son's potential love interest. And don't try to deny that's what you're thinking!
