Zhee Whiz; Looking for Hate in the Wrong Places

Expanding on the growing institutional campaign to use gender-neutral pronouns, the University of Tennessee has confected up some new ones:

Students are increasingly coming to college ill prepared to do the work required, and the (overstaffed) administrations are still piddling about inventing new ways to tongue-tie pupils, ignoring that the English language – unlike, for example, Romance-based ones, Hebrew, Greek, and German – is remarkably devoid of gender specificity except for the basic pronouns, which clarify meaning. Try this out with zhee: Tom and Mary went to school. Zhee passed; zhee flunked out. Who?

... The pretzeling of language to fit ideas of victims and oppressors is part and parcel of the simplistic reordering of the world into victims and oppressors...

I prefer the gender-neutral pronoun “comrade”.

Interesting chart. Part of the reason I majored in accounting was that the school of business did not require a foreign language. I guess that is a thing of the ancient past now.

But wouldn't it be easier to make the college kids become fluent in Klingon? That way they can get a head-start at a younger age.

Every time I hear these newly created pronouns, this starts running through my head.

Working on the image, that is what is really important.

I’ve actually heard someone use ze and zir. Every time I hear ze, I think that person is trying to do a fake French or German accent. When I hear zir, I look around for a 1930s “Flash Gordon” villain.

Too simple. Requires no decision making. Wait...

Hi, ptsal!

Is this posted to the correct thread?? Interesting image, so I’d like to know what this is supposed to be connected to. Thanks.

Oh just me being too obscure....

It is just the delusional, balding old goat on the lounge chair is much different than the imaginary reflection in the pool.

The merchants of hate need to go look in a mirror rather than relying on their imagination.

I wonder what President for life Xi Jingping thinks of this.

Is Xi a ze or a zer?

“Him”...”her”...”it”.Those are the only words I'll ever use when referring to a bipedal mammal.

These keeps reminding me of 1984 & newspeak.

Exactly.

You beat me to it.

George Orwell was prophetic. But now it is time to beat these bastards and bitches of the left.
