Pronoun rant: None of your business, but it’s your business.
Without pointing a finger, no one knows who the hell’s business it is!!
Some days it just makes me irate that English does not differentiate its morphemes for the second person singular and plural and their possessive. There are just VITAL times in which these pronoun twins desperately need a distinguishing birthmark. For example, when someone says, “You’re gonna die,” the other people in the room perk up, asking each other, “uh, hold on! did he mean singular or plural possessive?” because if they are included in the “You’re,” that gets his/her/their ass/es shot! In a room with only one other person, no biggie. In a room full of hundreds, the pronoun becomes utterly impotent. USELESS! This must be why the majority of the time “you’re gonna die” is followed by “bitch!” or “motherf****er!” Sometimes these nasties can cause tremendous relief. The other people in the room look at each other thinking, “ah, motherf****er’s gonna die, not me!”
Down with the pronoun. Save the expletives!
