Pronouns???

[Hysterior]

I am not even against a gender-neutral pronoun, I just really think it should be a new word instead of a word that also means something else.

Sure... let me give you some other one-minute Google knowledge:

"They with a singular antecedent goes back to the Middle English of the 14th century (slightly younger than they with a plural antecedent, which was borrowed from Old Norse in the 13th century), and has remained in use for centuries in spite of its proscription by traditional grammarians beginning in the mid 18th century."

"Informal spoken English exhibits universal use of the singular they. An examination by Jürgen Gerner of the British National Corpus published in 1998 found that British speakers, regardless of social status, age, sex, or region, used the singular they more often than the gender-neutral he or other options."

"The earliest known attempt to create gender-neutral pronouns dates back to 1792, when Scottish economist James Anderson advocated for an indeterminate pronoun "ou"."

Why do people act like it is something new? Is it because non-binary people use they that people suddenly get weird about it?
So odd...
