Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion
Whenever I refer to a random poster on this forum I use the the pronoun "they" rather than he or she.
(And yes "they" is grammatically correct for referring to the singular, or so I've heard.)
And not because of all this politically correct gender pronoun nonsense, but simply because I dont automatically assume
the gender as being a "he" (albeit on this forum, that's usually the case).
I only mention this because in all this swaystar hullabaloo, (apparently triggered by a post of mine)
I was actually suspecting this sway character could be a she. (or not)

back in the day, as in way back in the day, when i learned english (in two different english speaking countries) i thought i learned that when a singular person of unknown sex was referred to "he" could refer to either sex.
however *main memory checksum error* so..
You learned correctly. Language is plastic (ask JJG about that one). Rules change.
You are suggesting that I twist language to my advantage in some kinds of ways?
Regarding this particular topic, I already chimed in against the use of they to refer to a singular, but I understand peeps are going to do what peeps are going to do, so I think that I am making less of a BIG deal out of the whole phenomenon, even though I had already chimed in a wee bit about that particular topic.
Anyhow, more broadly, for some reason, you seem to be using me as "language is plastic" example ... but I am not sure about why you are using me for such an example, except maybe you are mad at me for calling you misleading, disingenuous and ridiculous, too many times, perhaps? poor wee lil picnic bear.
