    Right, you're just trying to change society by calling people uncultured and uncivilized.
    I'm not trying to "change" anything, that's ridiculously futile. I'm just giving my opinions, like just about everyone else here.

    I must say though, you people do seem quick to make the (somewhat bizarre, imo) logical leap that just because I call something your native language does as silly, behind the times, and potentially harmful to a subset of people... that it must be some sort of personal affront against the native speakers of that language. I hear people remark about how stupid English is all the damn time and I don't get all uppity and offended over it. Most of the time I even agree with it.

    What I said is that you can use "gender" in any case you can use "sex", but it is not correct the other way around.
    It doesn't matter what way you spin it, here. It is not correct because they are not the same things.

    I'm not saying that what that person is saying won't be correct in a decade, two, five. I'm saying that it is NOT CORRECT NOW.
    It's correct now. The erroneous sources just need to update themselves.

    Even if they don't, that doesn't stop what's correct from being correct.

    It really looks like you have a very shallow understanding of this game. You do realize that without raiding, crafting and gathering would be totally pointless, right?
    Again, you do you remember what happened in 3.1, right? The raiding scene almost died, and the crafting and gathering scene died with it. Did you ever wonder why they decided to introduce the savage and, later, the ultimate difficulty?

    Come on, it's not so hard.

    But the point remains. Savage and ultimate content are the sole reason why a good chunk of the player base keep playing after reaching lvl 70.

    The game didn't change at all for me and my friends. It didn't change for most people playing the game. Life went on just fine and game didn't die regardless of whatever debacles were going on with Alexander, which I don't even know about because that's just how important they were.

    To put it bluntly, you (raiders) aren't that important.

    Pronoun choice is not
    I was never trying to argue that it was.

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

    This is pure gold.

    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"

    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.

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