It’s extremely confusing when reading an article about a plural pronoun person and trying to figure out who the other person or people are then realizing the plural is referring to a single person πŸ™„ Makes zero sense but I guess that goes perfectly with these people since THEY make no sense (and have no sense either!).

It is actually the demons that are being referred to.... Mark 5:9

Bingo, LS Woodruff! The demoniac of Mark 5 had the 'pronoun' legion.

That's the best explanation I have heard. Yes, they are Legion.

A heard a stand up comedian do a skit on this. When you're having a dinner party, just how many people should you cater for when "they" are coming πŸ˜„

Lol that’s pretty funny and also a good point πŸ˜† There is a reason for a dedicated and specific plural form! It’s for clarity! Kind of the opposite of all of this woke nonsense.

I've seen the nightly news do it even when they've already acknowledged the (binary) sex of the individual.

One of the many reasons I no longer watch this phony tripe. I gain no actual truthful knowledge by watching mainstream media β€˜news’.

I haven't watched the "news" for years. I even hate it when a clip is used in something I'm reading or watching. I mute the sound and ff. First, I can't stand the sight of demons and their minions, and second, but actually co-first, I can't stand lies.

Right, no subject/verb agreement!

Even if they do use the correct plural verb form, I keep trying to figure out who the other person in β€œthey” is!
