I wish I knew in which text I read that marriage and heterosexual sex was primarily for procreation in ancient Greece (not exclusively, but primarily, from what I recall. I honestly would like to recall where I read that so that I could cite the reference. Without sufficient citation, I concede to you, Quiet ^_^ And thank you for the tip on breaking up my text walls with a space between paragraphs since tab doesn't seem to work here :3

Espy, thanks for looking that up. I admit, I was too lazy to Google it (I'm thumb typing my posts, and that takes a bit out of me).

I Googled it and no book or short story came up- so I clicked on an interesting article. The author suggests the word "em" as a singular, non-gender specific pronoun. I think I could get behind something like that. However, the reason I specifically asked what [I]you folks[/u] thought of a new word to be introduced to the English language is because I am not a qualified candidate to offer up such an academic idea as I received my B.A. almost 20 years ago, and I have no human children who may attend a public school at some point (due to two illnesses I have that pass from mother to fetus in the womb, my husband-creature and I decided to get me "fixed" 6 months after we got married, and have no plans to adopt). *YOU FOLKS*, however, are the future. I am guessing that many of you are students and/or are raising and teaching children. You will most likely accomplish much in your lifetimes C: Perhaps petitioning the Board of Education to start including a genderless pronoun for people to be added to modern curriculum. It's a win-win. Kids will be taught proper grammar, and our language will have a neutral pronoun for people. (I don't find it amusing when someone who is asexual or questioning is referred to as "it", Gramma be damned in that situation.)

It could start as a social experiment right here on Trisphee. There are new words for currencies and races created, why not at a gender neutral pronoun? I can think of a few people right off the bat who would find that more comfortable (they aren't members of Trisphee... yet ^_~)

Is there an appropriate forum im which to further discuss the idea of adding a new word to the Trisphee vocabulary? I think the whole grammar discussion derailed Matt's original post :/

Also, I want to find out more about Matt's doll collection ^_^ Kekeke!

Any suggestions?
