Croc, I have no suggestion with respect to possible new 3rd person pronouns; just pointing out that many of these he-she-it discussions that make communication increasingly ridiculous are not really what they seem. The language is often at fault; not the individuals or the sentiments they may or may not harbor, who are forced to communicate in that language.

I once lived in a place where they had about 75 pronouns for inclusive, exclusive, possessive, and some forms of relationships we don't even think about. One always new who was being talked about--even if one didn't fully comprehend what was being said about them.

There is really no point to what I am saying. I have no defense for this. I'm just rambling on about something that no one else may have any interest in. I could go on...but I usually reserve such inanities for the EC thread, where if not appreciated is often highly offensive to someone; a heartening thought considering some of the chittering clittering critters that slither in and out.

regards,

mnmuench
