language invention, pronouns
all of my invented languages don't make gender distinctions in pronouns (there's no he/she/they/it, just they/it or some other system)
this is because:
* the majority of languages on earth DON'T distinguish between genders
* gender neutral always is easier for literally everyone
language invention, pronouns
@lizardsquid My understanding is that the main use of pronouns is as kind of a variable-replacement disambiguator, so you don't have to keep saying <name> over and over again -- but at least one artificial language I've heard of (I think it was Lojban, but I might be misremembering) makes them sequence references rather than gender references.
...so there are pronouns for "the 1st person mentioned", "the 2nd person mentioned" and so on.
Eng equiv, maybe: 1e, 2e...?
