@joelgrus Actually I don't even disagree exactly with the claim, just a) roll your own pronouns are bullshit and b) Ahmed's an asshole. -
@St_Rev it's extra cognitive load. if you ever study spanish or french, remembering all the (arbitrary) noun genders is a huge pain -
@St_Rev and seriously, for me, just remembering people's actual names is non-trivial. it's definitely not the easiest thing in the world. -
@joelgrus Roll-your-own pronouns are like demanding a second name with its own special grammar. One name is hard enough to remember. - 1 more reply
