Do you mean just objects or actual people? In the usa we usually address objects as "her" but people are referred to as "he"

I'm confused, are you talking to me or Cantankerous?

Pretentious - Claiming or demanding a position of distinction or merit, especially when unjustified.

Intellectual - Having or showing intellect, especially to a high degree.

Fuckers - One that engages in sexual intercourse

An intelligent person who demands unjustified distinction during sexual intercourse.

umm. the address "he" stems from the bible and ten commandments as well as other early documents. You wouldnt replace "he" with "they" because "he" is singular, "they" is plural. But if you meant it the way I think you did, we would regard people as "it" and thats just not correct.

Never trust someone with symbols in his name.

Those people are, like, weird.

Cantankerous 07.28.2006 08:40 PM
Totally.

I read it in a textbook on Biblical translation. People have a problem with the fact that the Bible was translated as "he," and thus it's politically incorrect, and "they" is evolving past being strictly plural. Whether it was grammatical trend speculation or a surfacing rule is impossible to tell.

terminal pharmacy 07.28.2006 08:41 PM
like prince

Cantankerous 07.28.2006 08:41 PM
Fuck 'em.
SMOKE MORE.

acousticrock87 07.28.2006 08:42 PM
Not anymore. It's now "the artist formerly known as the artist formerly known as Prince." Prince for short.

oh ok, that could be right. you are suggesting that they miss translated it? interesting. but the damage has already been done and right or wrong it has still had a profound effect on our dialect, and the bible is not the only example of this.

You mean "mistranslated."

acousticrock87 07.28.2006 08:45 PM
Actually, I think "he" was accurate. But it's "sexist" so they want to make people happy by adjusting it. Or something.

Cantankerous 07.28.2006 08:45 PM
Well, I'm not a "feminist," so "fuck them."

Toilet & Bowels 07.28.2006 08:46 PM
this was a good thread until it got derailed by a couple of idiots trying to be clever.

acousticrock87 07.28.2006 08:47 PM
Is this "Chris" "Farley" enough for "you?"

terminal pharmacy 07.28.2006 08:47 PM
politcal correctness is bullshit and an oxymoron

...And a single tear falls from my eye. Sebastian and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

The irony is so thick you could write a cliche for it...

It could be on a t-shirt.

Cantankerous 07.28.2006 08:56 PM

atari 2600 07.28.2006 08:58 PM
thanks for the distinction

I've been off for a bit...& just read the thread

& I'm off again (I think)

truncated 07.28.2006 09:09 PM
My opinion shouldn't really affect you. I don't see why it would.

And there's no denying you know your shit. You just make it very well-known.

Just ain't to my personal taste, is what I'm sayin'.
