WTF man, Stardew Valley of all things?
I'm off the pronoun thing. Just stop. Be whoever, whatever you want. Your pronoun does not define you. You can't make English nonsensical. 'They took a bath.'
Complains about nonsense English, provides perfectly normal English sentence as an example. π€
Not I were talking about one person...
Do you not read much or something? I've been using both singular and plural "they" my whole life.
Iβm well aware, itβs still a perfectly normal English sentence. βTheyβ has been used as a singular for decades, and the recent acceptance of it in formal writing has no bearing on if it is a proper English sentence.
It would have been a proper sentence even 30 years ago.
Centuries, not decades. It predates Shakespeare.
I didnβt know the proper scope so erred on the side of caution. π
