As I was taught commonly used pronouns include I, me, mine, she, he, it, we, they, us, his, hers, theirs. Yesterday at a delightful lunch in bucolic Connecticut one of the guests announced that he was a “pronoun warrior”-determined to wipe out gender in pronouns.
I asked what injustices, challenges, hurts, offenses, prejudices would be ameliorated by altering pronouns. His response was that I am old and not “woke” enough. I gently accused him of ageism but he won the argument by denying that he was an ageist….after all, he explained, he voted for Bernie Sanders and would do so again.
We ended lunch on very good terms when I gave him my creme brulee, proving that food is the way to a “they’s” heart.
