Fellow pronoun users unite

My favourite pronoun is "that". I find it to be quite helpful in many situations. It is often forgotten that "that" is often used as pronoun.

I also enjoy "this", on occasion.

In my native dialect we have an additional pronoun that sits between “this” and “that” and means “far from the speaker but close to the listener”.
Pronouns rule.
EDIT: by popular request, the language in question is Italian.

- Please tell me more
- I would like to subscribe to your pronoun newsletter
- turkish has a tense for things that you heard from someone else, that has allegedly happened
- Some dialects of English and Scots still have yon, which is further than both this and that
- Thank you, I’m learning Spanish and this prompted me to look up the distinction in Spanish of ahí/allí/allá, because they had all just previous been presented to me as ‘there,’ but there’s a distance component in them as well.
- In my language their is no "male" or "Female" pronoun.
"that that" identified.
“Good. Item seven. The had had and that that problem. Lady Cavendish, weren’t you working on this?’
Lady Cavendish stood up and gathered her thoughts. ‘Indeed. The uses of had had and that that have to be strictly controlled; they can interrupt the imaginotransference quite dramatically, causing readers to go back over the sentence in confusion, something we try to avoid.’
‘Go on.’
‘It’s mostly an unlicensed-usage problem. At the last count David Copperfield alone had had had had sixty three times, all but ten unapproved. Pilgrim’s Progress may also be a problem due to its had had/that that ratio.’
‘So what’s the problem in Progress?’
‘That that had that that ten times but had had had had only thrice. Increased had had usage had had to be overlooked, but not if the number exceeds that that that usage.’
‘Hmm,’ said the Bellman, ‘I thought had had had had TGC’s approval for use in Dickens? What’s the problem?’
‘Take the first had had and that that in the book by way of example,’ said Lady Cavendish. ‘You would have thought that that first had had had had good occasion to be seen as had, had you not? Had had had approval but had had had not; equally it is true to say that that that that had had approval but that that other that that had not.’
‘So the problem with that other that that was that…?’
‘That that other-other that that had had approval.’
‘Okay’ said the Bellman, whose head was in danger of falling apart like a chocolate orange, ‘let me get this straight: David Copperfield, unlike Pilgrim’s Progress, had had had, had had had had. Had had had had TGC’s approval?’
There was a very long pause. ‘Right,’ said the Bellman with a sigh, ‘that’s it for the moment. I’ll be giving out assignments in ten minutes. Session’s over – and let’s be careful out there.”

- That seems like a fun book. I might have to look into that series
That was not prepared for her.
Why not he/her?

It must be hard to not use pronouns it means so many words are banned from daily use I can't imagine how hard it is to talk at all like that.

The sentence that was just posted from the account that is being replied to by this account almost contained no pronouns.
Writing without pronouns creates weird shit like the last sentence I wrote.
shadow the hedgehog has no pronouns, you will refer to shadow the hedgehog solely by shadow the hedgehog's name

There is a social collapse occurring but it’s not due to some “moral failing” of individuals or something. It’s because any and all opportunity to socialize and exist without the expectation to spend or make money has been slowly squeezed out. Things that were sustainable but not growing have been bought and hallowed out to increase their profit. Any sort of friction in our lives is ruthlessly stomped out

And in spite of all that effort to maximize productivity, we’re still driving off a cliff economically. So we get an economic break down due to incompetent leadership at companies, and we get a social break down because there is a constant ever present attempt to center our entire lives around corporate profit at the expense of civil society.

sees completely harmless, maybe a little unusual, at worst a little cringe stuff: "is this the collapse of society??"

edit: eyo, im talking about this piggs dipshit, thinking pronouns and palastine flags are the collapse of society. have y'all such little trust in your local queer demon?

nothing about what is happening in the USA is harmless!
Idk mate...
gestures at everything
Trump meeting a war criminal, wanted by the ICC with honors and a regal treatment to discuss a peace treaty in which the other involved party is not invited.
Trump also sending the army to seize control of democratic towns.
Creating a paramilitary force to kidnapp and disappear non "pure americans".
Trying to make it so he can be elected more than twice.
Suggesting that vote by mail shouldn't exist (while also talking about voting rights of "wrong" people).
I mean... I'm not sure I'd call any of these "harmless" if I had a functioning brain... And these are just those that came to mind in the last couple of mins. We don't want to go search the archive...
I fear your edit did not come soon enough to save you 😔
What is completely harmless?
- Mostly Harmless
I think the reason you got downlemmied is because the "is this the collapse of society" you posted can be taken to refer sarcastically to the "completely harmless..." person, ie. the one with the Palestine flag and so on.
So you came off as ridiculing the Palestine pronoun user.
- I'm on PieFed, what the fuck is a "downlemmy"?
Aah, now I get it. Thanks for clarifying!

Isn't the very first word of the USA Constitution a pronoun? "We"?

Nope, it's an article "The"
Constitution, though, yeah that one starts with "We"
- Thanks. Fixed. :)
Yes but they meant them, not us. They kinda fixed it later with patches but there's still a lot of launch day bugs.

Graul Piggs? Lemme guess, his parent's last names were actually Griggs, and his dad was too drunk when writing him his birth certificate and wrote down "Graul Piggs" I instead of Paul Gribbs. Mom was out of it cause birth, and dad was so embarrassed he just went with it.

They then both changed their last names to escape embarrassment and shame.

And his mom and dad are probably also brother and sister and father and daughter at the same time.
- Their family tree is a holiday wreath.
- Dark reference, in this economy

if he's not a pronoun user what is he

he is not a he. Graul Piggs is what Graul Piggs is. Graul Piggs don't need no pronouns

I was wondering what a US senior partner was, and there He was.

Oh great, another gross man child with no critical thinking skills. Figures he's in charge of things.
Oh, well, a zero wealth producing consultant parasite drone.

I’m sure they’ll shake it off once this is over and come out in a better place altogether.

piggs hehe oink oink 🐷🐽💵👿
