Title: A new pronoun, just for you, Nomaken.
Post by: DirtDawg on March 13, 2007, 10:20:27 PM: I saw this messing around with a friends computer last week, on Yahoo news

Someone has been listening to you Nomaken.

What we are addressing is a notable hole in the English language - a missing pronoun. "He" and "she" refer to a single male or female, respectively; "it" refers to a single thing or object; "they" gender-neutrally refers to a group of people or objects.

When referring to a single individual of non-specific or irrelevant gender, however, we have a void. This void makes communication awkward at best, offensive at worst, and always inaccurate.

We humbly submit a new word to fill this void: "hu", a third person singular, non gender-specific pronoun. Its variants include "hus", "hume", and "huself".

<What a beautiful baby. What's hus name?>

The first thing that comes to my mind is, hu gives a flying fuck?
Do we really need a PC pronoun?

The Finns use only one pronoun, though, "hÃ¤n", for both genders. In their language it's natural, though. Some extreme-feminists therefore wants us to use a pronoun "hen" for both genders in Swedish. ::)

Why not simply refer to everyone as "evil"? Just imagine how the conversations would go like.
