Re: Latin@s

(Anonymous) 2013-01-29 12:54 am (UTC)(link)
not OP but my issue with it is why must we invent new words (Latin@, zie) when the old ones work perfectly well and everyone understands them without having to ask for an explanation?

Re: Latin@s

(Anonymous) 2013-01-29 01:03 am (UTC)(link)
Because language never evolves and we never introduce new words into it?

+1!

I vote we ban all words that weren't around prior to the 1400s oh shi-

Except "latin@" it's not a new invented word.

Before, when doubting about someone's genre people would use instead the previously mentioned o/a (as in "latino/a"), now to use less characters they use the @.
And it's better than replacing it with an x (latinx), something people seem to be using in Spanish now to have "non gendered words".

I love when people who surf the Web and access the internet talk about language as if words and their meanings are set in stone and new words are never invented.

We had to create new words for new concepts such as the internet because before that time, we didn't have words to describe using that which was not yet invented. There's no need to rename ethnicities, pronouns, or anything that already exists and has been identified. It's like if we suddenly decided to change January to Flebnorp. What's the point?

There's no need to rename [...], pronouns, or anything that already exists

There's already a pronoun (or pronouns) for intersex people? Do tell.

-sighs- They can, and is, used as a gender neutral pronoun for both singular and plural. Why do people always like to forget that?

Re: Latin@s

(Anonymous) 2013-01-29 05:09 am (UTC)(link)
Because that's in English and we are talking about Spanish?

They = Ellos, Ellas
Where is your gender neutral? Oh yeah, Ell@s!
