  • Conjugation very much builds grammatical structure and is not independent from it. But that’s not what I said. As you said, conjugation depends (among others) on the pronoun. You said you were using a first person pronoun but then used a third person verb. This does not add up. You can either say “drag am always punctual” to make a first person sentence or “drag is always punctual” to make a third person sentence.

    If conjugation depends on the individual pronoun, the pronoun you used was third person since that’s the conjugation you used. They/them is also third person and singular and plural are conjugated the same, so the comparison doesn’t apply.

    To be clear, please use any and all pronouns you’re comfortable with. But don’t write a third person sentence and insist it’s first person.











  • I know you don’t think that, but imagine thinking sex was negative or morally questionable. It all comes down to money, of course. “Can’t have my brand associated with sex because some people hate sex and they might not give me their money! Better pretend like we can deny sex exists altogether.” And then the same advertisers advertise beer using boobs.







  • “My computer is broken, it won’t turn on!”

    “Are you sure it’s plugged in?”

    “You think I’m stupid? Of course it’s plugged in! It’s broken!”

    “Sometimes the plug isn’t in all the way and then it won’t work.”

    “I know how to plug in a plug, it just won’t turn on because it is b-r-o-k-e-n!”

    “Are you sure the plug is all the way in?”

    “It’s all the way in. My computer is broken!”

    “Im coming down there and if the plug isnt all the way in, I’ll be pissed and mock you.”

    “IT’S BROKEN!”

    Goes down there and plugs the plug all the way in
