I promised Myth the summer. Z gets more influence then.


Oh. *laughs lightly* Will you be able to be around more often now?
Dynamics said
In usage terms it is.


If it's fully accepted as a singular pronoun, then it'll be completely grammatically correct too.
Dynamics said
Not what I meant. But I'll get you there, Anna.


What did you mean then?
-Anna- Thanks.
Revolutionary said
You're right. Their army is beyond what the IA's army can fight as well, and rumor has it that their group is stronger than ours.


What do you mean their group?
Dynamics said
Usage terms anyway.


reword plz
Dynamics said
Exactly. Protip*


Revolutionary said
Poo that.


Revolutionary said
Oh yeah, that's what I meant. Stupid Autocorrect.


how did you possibly get protip from poo that
and vice versa
Revolutionary said
Yeah. My reaction precisely.Because Sven has failsafes and safeguards for everything, but even foolproof ones have a tendency to be... Well, not so foolproof.


That's not good at all.
Dynamics said
Techi? Ph, I blow her out of the water.*Checks watch*At least for another day.


Aw. Well, hopefully you'll be able to get back soon. Maybe when we're finished with the Nobles and reverting Existence to that older system.
-Anna- Oh, by the way, I need to get back to Myth Co. to work on figuring out that thing from the Scale. *tries to teleport, but fails* Bah, forgot it's locked. Er, David?
Dynamics said
Exactly. Protip*


So I guess the creators of the SAT don't like it. But it's still perfectly fine in regards to the history of English.
So according to Oxford, some people object to it as ungrammatical, but the practice actually dates back to the 16th century.
Dynamics said
Oh yeah, acceptable. But remember that "they" only applies to a group when you're taking the SAT. They like to throw that. For a guy, you're "supposed" to say "He or she" "He or she went to the store."Acceptable socially, but not correct. It's stupid how tests don't allow for the evolution of the English language, but whatever.


Not correct in the tests. I'll keep that in mind. I'm going to go see if Oxford accepts they as a singular neuter pronoun.
