@degeneracy @islieslytherin I feel that. I need two do 2 semesters of language courses for my degree and I'm thinking of doing more chinese. But there are so many languages to choose from O.o Languages are very cool
the obvious limitation with standard english is everyone refers to themselves the same way, “i”, “me”. which is fine when people are talking to each other directly, “you”, “your”. but that breaks down once referring to others — if you don’t know someone’s 3rd-person pronouns you can use “they” “them”, but also some people don’t like getting called by they/them
the idea of a gendered 1st-person pronoun is, it helps broadcasts clearly to everyone how to respond in turn
