Show ContentRain World: Slugcat Game@lemmy.world42·1 year agosame with swapping in ‘they’! i think most pronouns are singular, only ‘they’ is plural due to legacy junk, see: what does he want to do? what does drag want to do? what does the cat want to do? what do they want to do? what do the cats want to do? perhaps we should move towards singular they, eg ‘what does they want to do?’
