Changes of this nature will not enhance anyone's life although it may increase their public profile ,which is what many "celebs" etc want. We have managed for many centuries with the basic grammar we have and yet we seek to change it because some might be ,in some way,offended. We have bigger challenges and this makes me feel very old. | |

The on 03:22 - Sep 16 by Bazswan | It’s only getting worse too as pronouns are being created by the day and enforced by law. Ne Ve Spivak Ze and hir Ze and zir Xe The above are now becoming as common as Sam Smiths example of wanting to be called ‘them’ and ‘they’, especially Ze and Zir, Xe. For example if you wish to say “he likes himself” or “she likes herself” in the traditional sense, using the newly formed pronouns people are adopting we now must (some by law) say: - Ne likes nemself (Ne) - Ve likes verself (Ve) - Ey likes emself (Spivak) - Ze likes hirself (Ze and Hir) - Ze likes zirself (Ze and Zir) - Xe likes xemself (Xe) As you can see it is truly getting out of hand now that this has been compelled by law. So what starts off as innocent acceptance quickly turns into utter farcical nonsense as there is no cut off point and an infinite amount of pronouns that must be treated just as validly as the one before. It seems like it is creating a breeding ground for pre meditated opportunity to take offence by setting unrealistic expectation that everyone carries out newly formed and almost senseless language. |

The "I'm sorry, but what on God's green earth. on 09:17 - Sep 16 with 982 views | Catullus | The point about where prejudice comes from, I'm not so sure we can simply blame parents. We are a sort of modern household. I'm medically retired so became the househusband, my wife works full time. Our son is 10, he isn't racist or homophobic but he has definitely developed a sexist streak. He didn't get it from us, he complained recently when I put womens football on tv because "it'll never be as good as mens football" he also moans about women drivers. I always point out that he can't even reach the pedals so maybe should hold his mouth until he passes his test. There is more evidence he is definitely tending towards sexism but I won't go on. It begs the question, where is he learning this from? Is it from a friends parents, from school? | |

The "I'm sorry, but what on God's green earth. on 09:27 - Sep 16 with 971 views | perchrockjack | Very good post Cat. I firmly believe people "prefer their own". It is simply in our genetic survival make up. That does not necessarily infer one has to treat anyone else with outright hatred descrimination or respect. It is far more offensive to "support" when ,at heart,nothing of the kind is meant and is simply a front. | |

He was illegitimate you know, so he really was a b'stard! His father beat him too, for not being a good boy at school. Strange to think he was in a church choir and thought about joining the priesthood. He could have been Pope if he hadn't turned into the antichrist. | |
