Word of the Year: "Stupid"

From Stephen Kruiser's Morning Briefing:

"Make 'They' Go Away"

"Merriam-Webster just gave the personal pronoun “they” the word of the year title:

Merriam-Webster recently added a new definition to its online dictionary to reflect use of  'they' as relating to a person whose gender identity is nonbinary. In October, the American Psychological Assn. endorsed 'they' as a singular third-person pronoun in its latest style guide for scholarly writing.

Of all of the wokeness that I am not very woke about, the pronoun nonsense probably holds the least hope for me every achieving wokeitude. I am still too much a fan of science to believe that there are 6,000 genders that we can all begin identifying as by age three.

An individual calling himself or herself 'they' it sounds like we’re dealing with multiple personality issues.

He, him. She, her.
We’re done here."

I wish we were done here, but I think this sort of insanity will only get worse as long as everyone caves in.

Speaking of caving in to nonsense, why didn't this restaurant fight back harder instead of closing down?   "The complaints about the eatery had nothing to do with the quality of the food, the prices or the location, however. People were upset because the woman who opened it was white. And that means she was 'appropriating' Asian culture or something."
