A new pronoun, just for you, Nomaken.
« on: March 13, 2007, 10:20:27 PM »
I saw this messing around with a friends computer last week, on Yahoo news

Someone has been listening to you Nomaken.

What we are addressing is a notable hole in the English language - a missing pronoun. "He" and "she" refer to a single male or female, respectively; "it" refers to a single thing or object; "they" gender-neutrally refers to a group of people or objects.

When referring to a single individual of non-specific or irrelevant gender, however, we have a void. This void makes communication awkward at best, offensive at worst, and always inaccurate.

We humbly submit a new word to fill this void: "hu", a third person singular, non gender-specific pronoun. Its variants include "hus", "hume", and "huself".

<What a beautiful baby. What's hus name?>


The first thing that comes to my mind is, hu gives a flying fuck?
Do we really need a PC pronoun?

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

I forgot to mention, when I first searched for "hu", earlier, I had a great time.

What has hu done with hus tits? (I'm already getting the hang of it.)

Some jerks have "invented" such a pronoun in Swedish too. "He" is "han" in Swedish and "she" is "hon". The Finns use only one pronoun, though, "hän", for both genders. In their language it's natural, though. Some extreme-feminists therefore wants us to use a pronoun "hen" for both genders in Swedish.  ::)

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

This is not directed towards me, tons of people I know including most of my english teachers, my friends, and many people I meet online would like a gender neutral pronoun.

You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

Why not simply refer to everyone as "evil"? Just imagine how the conversations would go like.
