I read an article yesterday about the parents of someone who goes by the plural third-person pronouns "they/them". Because the joint experiences of two people were being discussed, and because the discussion was about their child, pretty much every sentence was like, "They wondered if they were where they used to go when they were younger," making it almost impossible to parse.

Come to Germanywhere we have 7389 pronouns! (Though I think you may be one of them Europeans anyway, so probably have your own...)

I'm sure you could parse it if you wanted to,after all you're not a school library book banning culture warrior with an irrational fear of people who are trans.

No, but I think the language needs to change to accommodate if things continue as present. I also have an absolutely fucked memory, I can never remember names let alone inidividual pronoun preferences. I am all but guaranteed to mess up.

It's okay. It's not that important. Language is always changing anyway.It's okay to make mistakes as long as you're not a cunt about it.
