plurality, grammar
look ik ranting abt english not working is an overworked trope but like
the word for [this individual plural system] and the word for [this group of people] is the same word. there aren't even any distinguishing modifiers that apply to it
this is like, we've got a thing that needs to be fixed but we don't even have a hammer
plurality, grammar
@autistikai I've taken to saying "aspects" or "collection of systems"
plurality, grammar
@amsomniac this....might work? but at first glance, at least, it seems situational. not seeing how it'd apply if there's a group including both systems and singlets
plurality, grammar
@amsomniac i mean this is basically my original point. english is absolutely a hackable language but as it currently stands there's no way to make that distinction. this might do the trick for the most part? can't tell without trying it

@autistikai mm, yeah. maybe it's time for a plural they? like, "theys"? so thon, theys, and... y'all? th'all?
