Re: What are your thoughts on non-binary genders?

[(Anonymous)]

Actually, it really bothers me that 'you' is both plural and singular.

Re: What are your thoughts on non-binary genders?

[(Anonymous)]

Because it seems illogical to you, or for another reason? *curious*

Re: What are your thoughts on non-binary genders?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, mostly just because it's illogical and imprecise.

It's just so much cleaner if you have separate words for them.

Re: What are your thoughts on non-binary genders?

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT Hmm yeah I can see that. While all languages have some weird tricks to them, English seems to have a higher-than-normal level of fuckery.

Re: What are your thoughts on non-binary genders?

[(Anonymous)]

Never try to learn Japanese, then.

Re: What are your thoughts on non-binary genders?

[(Anonymous)]

Actually, it's not. I agree that it can be ambiguous but having two different pronouns or even three (like in German du/ihr/Sie) is much more complicated. I'm fluent in French but it's always difficult to choose between tu and vous, especially when you're talking to someone for the first time.

Re: What are your thoughts on non-binary genders?

[(Anonymous)]

My French is very bad, so take this with a grain of salt, but AFAIK the tu-vous distinction is more about formality and varying levels of intimacy with the person you're talking to, not so much about plural and singular.

I don't think having something more like "you" and "you all" would be confusing (except with a single word instead of "you all", I guess).

DA

[(Anonymous)]

I sometimes wish we had multiple forms of 'we' to distinguish when it's being used inclusively (ie, the person being addressed is counted) vs exclusively ('we, but not you').

Re: What are your thoughts on non-binary genders?

[(Anonymous)]

How about "y'all?"

Re: What are your thoughts on non-binary genders?

[(Anonymous)]

I like it, and I do actually use it, but it'd be nice to have something that wasn't slangy and extremely regional.
