Re: [s-d] [s-b] Proposal: Spivak is not English, Episode 2

[0x44 <bnomic@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Spivak is not commonly used slang. Further, B Nomic inherently 
recognizes the inadequacy of English when it comes to neutral gendered 
pronouns and declares that all pronouns apply no matter the gender of 
the pronoun. Since we treat all pronouns equally, there is no need for 
non-standard artificial pronouns.
