ALT TEXT:
- Panel 1: A person with the text "Singular 'they'" written on them smiling with open arms.
- Panel 2: "Singular 'They'" beaten up by others who said, "Singular they is ungrammatical. It's too confusing," "How can anyone use plural pronouns for singular," and "Every pronoun should only have one purpose."
- Panel 3: "You" hiding from the mob who was beating "Singular 'They'"
- Panel 4: "German 'Sie'" hiding with even more fear next to "You"
I've replied elsewhere to your link, but for anyone else reading this: the above claim is misleading. Singular they to refer to a known, specific individual is a recent invention, and Shakespeare never used it that way. If you don't believe me, read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they, which refers to https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/singular-nonbinary-they, which says "Though singular 'they' is old, 'they' as a nonbinary pronoun is new—and useful".
I'm not sure why @[email protected] keeps pushing this, but the claim about Shakespeare is factually incorrect.
