Is that you DSPStanky ? <| sep |> Yeah true . Didn ' t think of that . <| sep |> No . It is merely the genderneutral singular pronoun . It is viewed as only applying to nonhuman objects because humans have been historically assumed to be either male or female . People are of course free to challenge that assumption , but that makes them its . Creating new words won ' t help . A moron , idiot , or retard by any other name is what it is and retains the stigma . Might as well stick with the correct term and either change the stigma or accept it . <| sep |> Being non American on the internet has the advantage of forcing you to learn approximate conversions . <| sep |> and it ' s a real thing . I used to have it in my Kanye folder , and googling it shows links but they ' re all deadEDIT I found it , pm if interested
