what if we just encoded gender as a grammatical property of nouns so we wouldn't have to keep giving our pronouns all the time
@Lady conjugating nouns to match every possible pronoun sounds like a nightmare
@Satsuma yes, probably this would require reducing the number to maybe three or four
@Satsuma (this is not a genuine proposal, more just me pointing out that this is how Proto-Indo-European happened)
@Satsuma my personal stance is that we should just eliminate pronouns
@Lady @Satsuma i’m a fan
