minus-squareAngryCommieKender@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoIn English “they” is neutral. It’s also both singular and plural.

minus-squareSoulg@ani.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·edit-21 month agoIt’s also perfectly appropriate to say they. It’s not gendered
minus-squareAngryCommieKender@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-21 month agoThanks. I couldn’t figure out how to say that without sounding like an asshole. You managed it flawlessly.
minus-squarecomfy@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 month agoI don’t know Luigi’s gender for certain, nor is it relevant to my statement. Neutrality is appropriate. Furthermore, I personally disapprove of gendered language in general. It’s pointless. I can’t think of one reason to keep that archaic tradition.
