Randomguy Posted December 11, 2019 Share #32 Posted December 11, 2019 9 hours ago, Square Wheels said: Merriam Webster's Word of the Year. https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/word-of-the-year/they Don't make this thread political. Stupid in this use, 'they' denotes more than one individual. "It" is far better, as it signifies the one. Anyway, dumb, and it causes word-contortion and bad-english farts. First name will be constantly used, as I will not use they in this sense, because of the utter wrongness involved. Not because I am opposed to not using the wrong word for their preference, but because the wrong word certainly will be used now, and every time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
