Twice on Jalopnik has a YouTube-style argument occurred about whether or not to use they or he or she or he/she when referrering to a singular human being that can be either gender.

Someone must put this in the dictionary

The singular, gender-neutral pronoun is SHIM . Thanks to Mr. Ontop, Bridge Burner

There. It's a word. Please get this noticed.

Soo.. like the Swedish Hen then?

Was this on Oppo or the front page?

I though we were beyond that kind of stuff here

Accidently typing the wrong pronoun every now and then doesn't merit enough effort to go stir up shit

Truthfully, it was just a made up word that doesn't sound much like any other English word.

This was on the FP. It's the first set of comments that you'll see.

One small word from Elon Musk. One giant argument for Jalopnik-kind.

That should be enough.

That sounds better actually. Will edit and give credit.

In all honesty, because my folks didn't raise me in the jungle to be hateful, I use whatever gender that person wants. Anyone who has a problem with it, I will be grinding a cactus on their faces.

You just got to ignore the front page

Looks like a microphone for a tank.

Stupid me. I saw it as runner instead of burner.

Or ze/zem. This stuff hasn't exactly been totally codified yet. I like ze/zir/zem because of its basis in an actual language, German.

No. Bred goes first and Last for a sandwich. Silly military truck.

When I saw 'bred last' I thought I was seeing things.

I was either going to go for a 'bread' comment or a 'last truck to get laid' (bred) comment.

I need to get out more. :)

A proper reaction I think. :)

An entire string of comments on the word. Jeez, these people are worse than YouTube commenters. The FP has gone so far over the edge, I have a hard time reading the articles, let alone the comments. I had to submit my comment to the lead comment. I hope they, they're, there, their don't get diaper rash.
