minus-squareDiuretic_Materialism [he/him]linkfedilinkEnglish4•11 months agoAre their languages that don’t use pronouns at all? I’m not familiar with any, it’d make it difficult to discuss a person when you don’t know their name.

Suzie, could you go help that person standing over there by the deli counter? So do you know the name of the new cashier? I was supposed to have a group meeting with the classmate that usually sits next to me. When will the mechanic be done working on my car? I’m expecting a call from an insurance agent. Seems pretty easy to me.

minus-squareD61 [any]linkfedilinkEnglish1•11 months agoAlways a pleasure chatting with you, Gary. :gary: (need to find some emotes and name them “Gary” now)
