In light of Nexus Mods and Mod DB banning the No Pronouns mod for Starfield, I figured I would look around for alternative sources and collect them in one place for others’ convenience. This seems like a good place to put them.

    Ironically, one of the biggest changes from Shakespeare’s time and now concerned pronouns. We stopped using “thou/thee” as the informal 2nd person and began to only use what had been the formal 2nd person, “you,” and stopped using the verb conjugations for them.

    Meanwhile, the 3rd person singular “they” has been in use since Chaucer’s time.

        My brother in Christ; I’M AN ENGLISH TEACHER.

        If you don’t understand how “we lost an entire pronoun and the verb inflection that went with it” is in fact grammar, I don’t even know what to tell you.

          I’M AN ENGLISH TEACHER.

          Apparently not a very good one, because:

          • You don’t know the difference between vocabulary and grammar.
          • You don’t know that appeal to authority is a logical fallacy.
          • You don’t know what being dismissed means.

          Bye.
