Andertoons by Mark Anderson for September 13, 2020

Pronouns are just nouns that have lost their amateur status.

Or ‘amateur’ nouns………………

It’s all the rage lately to include the personal pronouns preferred for one’s self in their email signature block. I keep thinking about putting this in mine:

pronouns? sure, why not

I think everyone is missing the point

I still think we need (in English) a pronoun for singular non-gender-specific person. He/she doesn’t cut it. They is already plural. The Swedes created “hen”, I propose “hesh”. I have also seen “shey” (pronounced shay).

I think “anti-noun” is what the others are calling him in their thought. (What about no-nouns?)

Ready, Aim, Through the dictionary. Like anarchist noun is prejudiced to one purpose.

Sure, kid. Let’s start by having you explain to the class what you think an “anti-noun” is.
