The sheer number of people who think pronouns are just things used by lgbt ppl tells me school has failed all of them

Yes, reject modernity, embrace oonga boonga. MrIncog communicate with grunts. Well, if we think about it even further, even if you stop using pronouns - other parts of speech will just become pronouns. It's not like "pronoun" is some definitive list, it's just a descriptive category of words depending on their function, and that function *will* be fulfilled if you use a language, no matter how hard you try to oppose it.

Calling everything by its name is funny because those are also pronouns

Don't forget the royal "we" which is singular, and in many languages they also add in the familiar vs the formal "you" both singular and plural. And why is using they/them/their as a non-gendered singular pronoun so hard, but using you for both singular and plural second person is fine? Oh because we have been doing it longer? OK.

Well what if person doesn't want to talk correctly to prove a point?

Wait till they find out shit like "bro" is a pronoun

THANK you!! As a world languages teacher, I am constantly telling my students this. Personal pronouns are not the only pronouns! You use pronouns all the time, in almost every sentence!

So you’re saying a world without pronouns would be a linguistic nightmare? I fucking agree 0_o

Professional nouns

Shit I can’t even write a sentence without using a pronoun

I'm actually learning

"Can we leave pronouns behind in 2025" Well, considering the used the word "we" I guess they answered their own question 🤣

Those weirdos acting like pronouns are a new concept. I'm sorry, did you fail kindergarten?

Interesting

OMG I LOVE YOU 🥰🙏🏻

They already rewrite the Bible to fit their narrative 🤣

Depending on which translation you favour, you can get about 3 or 4 verses into the Bible before hitting pronouns.

Don’t forget the plural you in English: y’all

always loved being a smartass to transphobes and pointing out when they use pronouns (as in "I" or "you") in their sentences while saying they don't use pronouns but this... THIS is such a beautifully crafted presentation. THIS tops any attempt at being funny ive made. you have successfully learned and mastered english linguistics and used it to its full power in this video. bravo, pinkgooby. youve won

❤😂🎉💐

I want to see a debate with someone who doesn’t want to use pronouns.

lazy and intellectually dishonest when it's obvious that when people say "pronouns" they're colloquially referring to the concept of preferred pronouns. hope we do indeed leave that narcissistic, entitled concept (and the obsession with conservative af gender roles) behind going forward into the year :3

I remember seeing a TikTok from my favourite enby channel @tylerdaclaire where they acted out them getting misgendered back in the day. “I’m terribly sorry but my pronouns are thou and them”

i'm gonna unga bonga over there.. loved the sarcasm 😁

Lmao they won't be able to even form a sentence without pronouns. They probably had a hard time doing it anyways

I don’t know why… but I LOVE your voice

I'm not too solid on phonetic symbols, so this was hard to research and I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that "ye" is pronounced the same as how "the" is today, following the same rules for if it precedes a vowel or consonant. At some point þ (thorn, th) was replaced by y, as they looked similar enough.

Damn you ate down!

"Pronouns"? - you're telling me these nouns are PROfessional!? 😂

In some languages, dropping pronouns works. In English however, it would be near impossible without (at the very least) completely overhauling all verb conjugations. For example, Spanish typically does not use pronouns. You just say the verb (correctly conjugated) followed by the rest of the sentence. That is because Spanish has unique enough verb endings that the person is as just as obvious from that as it would be from a pronoun. Como, comes, come, comemos, coméis, comen. In English however, the vast majority of verbs have barely any unique verb endings. I eat, you eat, h/s eats, they (s) eat, we eat, you (pl) eat, they (pl) eat. You drop the pronoun and there is absolutely no indication of the subject at all. Some people argue to replace pronouns with names, but that isn't very practical in broad language use.

Reminds me of the "speak for self cause dont" thing

Pronoun? Nah, I’m antinoun

This is a genuinely good English lesson though

2:35 that got me

So many pronouns people forget

I think the statement was more about not having the necessity to ask people for their pronouns (and rather using pronouns that match sex, not gender) rather than not using pronouns at all. Not defending any stance, I just think the statement of that message was just simply other.

Love your "shit could be worse" tapestry. I have one too ❤

nobody is asking the real question there: should reflexive singular them be themself, themselve or themselves ?

I know that's not the point but as non-native speaker that's just SO useful TT

A pronoun is a work referring to a thing

No leave adverbs they confuse me

correction 'we' is a pronoun

0:42 me writing my christmas list in 2006:

Just come out and say you've never read a book lmao, these people act like "they" hasn't been used as a singular pronoun for their entire lives

arkhaic pronouns? no way...

I support lgbtq

Christians even have special pronouns for their god: He/Him

A great rightwing person in this vid.

You just made my brain go Squueeeee!❤Thank you❤

strawman the only way for u to win huh?
