Pronouns bad!
(lemmy.world)
I wish, with every fiber of my being, that this is not real
Pronouns are a basic part of language. Getting rid of them makes communication way harder. Unless you speak Spanish, I guess.
Do you think we don't use pronouns in Spanish? Because we absolutely do.
I know they exist, it's simply the fact that they're not usually required in daily speech, since verb conjugation gives the context of the pronoun anyway.
Spanish pronouns are used mainly in the plain.
(Side note: I thought the original quote was something like "the rain in Spain falls mostly on the Spaniards," but I can't find anything to support that. Only today did I even learn that it was from a song.)
What song exactly?
Apparently, "The Rain in Spain." (To be clear, I would not have known that before looking it up to verify the quote.)
The original lyric I was parodying was "the rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain." (Which, again, I would have gotten wrong if I hadn't researched it.)
edit: After a few minutes reviewing YouTube videos, apparently it was prose recited by the protagonist of "My Fair Lady," the movie from which that song came. Eventually she gained confidence via that song.
I don't know, I previously lacked context for the quote, but after watching a relevant video I realize I've seen a parody of it in Family Guy.
Time to check it out.
I added more context to my original response. Hope you enjoy it!
Thanks.
That’s far more than mildly infuriating. I’d consider this child abuse.
I hope this kid escapes this clearly toxic situation.
Wound't going entirely gender neutral be progressive?
That's what THEY want you to think.
Lol, wow. Sorry you had to deal with that.
Best troll: buy him a 5th grade grammar book for his bday/Xmas.
There are pronouns in the fucking bible
that doesn’t count though. the bible got grandfathered in
I wonder how he feels about you saying that.
It's even more surprising that there are pronoun in the regular "non-fucking" Bible
I fully expect JD Vance to use an elementary school pronoun worksheet to suggest drag queens are grooming children.
That guy is voting. Probably for the Nazi.
Probably? Probably at least twice.
Literacy is bad mmmm'kay?
/s (obviously)
That guy failed English literacy. Though... Honestly... Not surprising for a right wing American.
I don't know, have you seen how they are teaching math these days?
This liberal agenda is getting out of hand!! /s
They even use Arabic numerals! Shariah state!
Seems like everything is a pronoun these days. Anything can be a pronoun too. Could I even be one?
Mr. Rogers says you can do anything you want if you use your imagination.

Pretty sure pronouns didnt exist for him in school because he dropped out before they taught it to him
TIL grammar is an info-hazard.
That's a well radicalised obedient party soldier who will stop at nothing once you point at an inconvenient target and say the right buzzwords. Real Jan6 material, just as planned and executed for decades.
I mean, it's a Reddit story, so grain of salt.
But it is a very funny story

Wonder if this is real or just ragebait, really can't be sure in the current day lmao
I agree. It can go either the way, the story is written in such a manner for people to be angry. However, I could easily see someone becoming so brain washed by conservative media to actually believe this.
It is documented that watching Fox News is terrible. Or that people will believe even the most insane conspiracy theory. I think it's safe to assume that there are indeed people out there who do believe pronouns only exist because of trans people and the "Left".
I saw a meme yesterday that references this phenomenon:
"the saying used to be 'it's too good to be true' has morphed into 'it's too horrid to be false.'"

A Teacher in Utah was fired for writing an educational blog post about homophones.

Homophobes? Pronouns? SEEMS one sided to me.
Teach the kids Heterophobes too.
Give both sides: pro-nouns and pro-verbs.
Stop with this culture war in our SCHOOLS.
