Non-binary option for characters, please?

"it's correct because I say so and everyone who disagrees is wrong, once again, because I say so."

This is pure gold.

Glad to see we agree.

You're basically saying anyone with a different opinion from yours is ignorant, among other things. That pretty much seems like a "change or else you'll stay ignorant"

The sex/gender thing isn't an opinion.

Mostly because a certain person seems to think that language is made by scholars in ivory towers, and not through natural evolution by the speaking masses. If you're saying that about a language, you're saying that about the language speakers, because they're the ones who make it.

No, most people do not "make" their language; they just imitate the work that others before them already did. (Some more poorly than others.)

Only a select few of them are influential enough (usually by pure chance) to effect change.

It doesn't matter what you think. Until the majority accepts it, it's not correct. Not because a minority wants it to be.

Sorry, that isn't how correct/incorrect works. Majority of the class getting the wrong answer doesn't suddenly make them right. Nice try though.

The way you claim it works is. Post your proof, since it's your claim btw.

Sorry, but you have no clue of how language works. And I'm not saying that most people make their language, I'm saying the people as whole make it. Not because a small group decreed it to be so, and everyone else has to follow (which is what you're trying to push)

6000+ years of recorded human history prove it right. Not going to change because a couple of groups on Tumblr decided they wanted it to change.

If everyone is getting it wrong, the answer is changed so the majority are right, check out the current definition of 'literally' for a recent example.

No, it's not how correct/incorrect works. But that IS how evolution works.

The definitions used by majority are the correct ones while the ones used by minority is at best a dialect, at worst an idiolect.

It seems you first need to learn what "language" is before you can actually discuss what use of a word is correct and what is not. Though language is not something determined by science, it IS a science in and off itself.
