      You do know that we can see your post history, right?

      But this ‘thon’ thing is very droll. I’m sure you think you’ve done a real gotcha with it.

        As one who dislikes the singular they—I kinda like distinctions in regards to numbers in pronouns—I kinda like “thon.”

            I kinda wished English 2nd-person pronouns made distinctions for plurality. We know they exist with 1st-person pronouns, but alas, the so-called progressives are ruining plurality in 3rd-person pronouns.

            I suppose we could take it up a notch and replace all gender-specific 3rd person pronouns with the singular they.
