A new gender-neutral community of pronouns: 'pronads'

User avatar
[img]/images/Pronads_Gender_Neutral_Pronouns.png[/img]

Comrades, I find myself in a quandary. I enjoy languages and consider myself a bit of a cunning linguist, but I'm wondering how will the new inclusive pronouns as demonstrated above translate into the emerging People's language of Ebonics?

Will our comrades of color even bother to use them, or is the use thereof limited to whitey?

You-a cunning lunguist? Marvelous! I wish I were one. No, I am relegated, quite forcefully by inabilities to roll R's and other such things, to the title of "Master Debater"*.

As for them being incorporated into Ebonics, I can offer only this as a prediction: We will have ziggers, xiggers, zyggers, xeggers, and zheggers by the evening of revolution.

One who identifies as Clinton's server is to be described by the pronouns wype, wypir, and wypirs.

I wonder if all those foreign nationals learning English, especially Latino and Muslim immigrants taking ESL, will now have these pronouns to memorize as well, and how soon it will become a mandatory part of the Kommon Kore Kurrikulum.

On a side note, the maker of this chart knows nothing about grammar.

Subject - Object - Pronoun? Apples and oranges. That explains the color of the chart.

A pronoun is part of speech, while subject and object are parts of a sentence. The words on the chart are all pronouns, including the imaginary ones (unless they're in use on other planets).

The correct header would read, "subjective pronoun - objective pronoun - possessive pronoun." Or "nominative case - objective case - possessive case."

Besides, the chart omits "it" which is a neuter pronoun. Instead they create "neutral" pronouns which don't explain anything. If they are neutral why do we need more than one? How are they different? If there's no difference, why there are four of them? If there is a difference, they are not gender-neutral but very much gender-specific.

In this context I would like to quote Ivan Betinov, who in 2008 submitted this entry to our compilation of Best Obama Facts.

"Obama" is the very first word in the English language to be a verb, adjective, noun, pronoun, adverb, interjection, superlative and pronad. (Pronad is a new category made specifically for the word "Obama" so its power can be fully realized).
It seems that "hirs, zirs, xyrs" also fall under the "pronads" category.

These new words remind me of dialects used in Croatia, and northern Bosnia-Herzegovina (the nations that need to buy some vowels...)

Note, Comrade Director the graphics came straight from the People's Google, it HAS to be accurate, no?

Director Square! The PC (And just plain tasteful, blech) term is a "fixed" pronoun. Like you "fix" a dog. So now, we should say that instead of neutering the English language, they are fixing it.

This is a little off topic but I noticed the construction of the word THEIRS can be split in two to create The IRS.

Co-incidence or conspiracy?

Comrades, (or Comnads - which ever applies)

How will a surgeon prepare for sex reassignment surgery based on a verbal or written request? (i.e., what "parts" should the surgeon have ordered and prepared for "installation" in/on the patient when surgery begins?) I guess by the time Next Tuesday™ rolls around it won't matter anymore. Right?

TRAGEDY! The University of Tennessee, source of the above glorious pronad ukase, has CAVED under reactionary pressure and has abandoned this mighty blow for gender confusion.

On Friday, rebuffing The Office for Diversity and Inclusion's desire for students and faculty to use terms such as “ze,” “xe,”and “xem,” UT President Joe DiPietro sent a message to university trustees reassuring them that the gender-neutral pronouns will be expunged.

This cowardly DiPietro went on to grovel like the cur xe is:

...I am deeply concerned about the attention this matter continues to receive and the harm it has had on the reputation of the University of Tennessee … Chancellor Cheek and I have agreed that references to the use of gender-neutral pronouns will be removed from the Office for Diversity and Inclusion website. Chancellor Cheek will instruct the Vice Chancellors not to publish any campus-wide practice or policy without his approval after review with the Cabinet.


HOW DARE XE? Just because the vast majority of people think that rewriting the language to cater to the feelings of less than 0.00001% of the population is madness is not a reason to force these poor, downtrodden gender-confused individuals to labor for a single additional day under the stigma of being forced to identify as male or female, or to be traumatized by others referring to themselves by gendered terms.

DiPietro, you disgust me.

Comrades,

It gets worse! While evaluating UTK campus maps I came across numerous Omissions of Inclusion™ (OI's) such as illustrated below. There are gender inclusive bathrooms but no gender inclusive lactation rooms! How thoughtless of UTK!

Komrade Craptek, there ARE such things as male lactation rooms, since those ones are clearly meant for gals. But it takes a little process to get to the male rooms, you have to go down the the clinic and complain that your girl gave you VD. Then the MIGHT let you in, but they might just put a shot in your johnson or sit it on a marble block and whack it with a mallet.

Comrades,

Upon further consideration, I believe we have stumbled into a gender-neutral void that needs to be filled.

What are the expletives and pejoratives and fundamentals of name-calling that we may now use?The current best ones are all related to some body part, or status of one's parents at birth, or a physical act and thus become exclusionary, micro-aggressive, or cause marginalization.

How are we to express our dissatisfaction? Why, even Red Square, our Beloved Director's own slogan is sexist-- consider:

"Nobody's a boob with the People's Cube!"

How has he gotten away with this for so long?

(not that it needs to be corrected, after all, who doesn't love a good boob or two?)
This mandates further investigation into it's application by the unwashed masses.

Well, he might as well, because that Gilbert & Sullivan Modern-Major General song sounds EXACTLY like the bloody "Periodic Table" or, a typing pool in the fifties, tap, tap, tap. Good grief!

There are many, many wonderful things in Gilbert & Sullivan works, some quite beautiful. This is not one of them. IMHO

Abstinent People: Like a classic car, only take it out once in a while and for the right person
Celibate People: Like an antique car, never take it out
Eunuchs: Decided to use their pork and beans to make some pork and beans and have never been the same since.

Cisgendered: What it says on the can
Transgendered: A can of corn that thinks it's a can of Chef Boyardee

Capitalist: Money+Market is the best
Socialist: Government is the best
Communist: Government is God
Anarchist: Nothing is the best

Goddammit Pammy! You need to quit drinking your Vodka Ration whilst on the computer! Save it for when you're driving, computing is harder & more frustrating than driving anyhow, and if you can ramble on about G&S and drink at the same time I think you could drive with a helluva buzz. Better yet, play Block and Tackle; You drink your entire Vodka ration, walk around the block, and then you tackle everything you see.

And Kelly, at one time I could sing it, but then I got CRS disease; now I Can't Remember Shit.

Yeah, Steirlitz, sometimes I edit without informing those who are viewing. I keep thinking no one will notice. I am most often wrong. Does make me look drunk, I suppose, but, I'm not. Just presumptuous. Sorry.
