I will not be around later this week through the weekend, though.

I somehow missed that last /in. Sorry about that. This game is now full and PMs will be out later today.

While I can always approve the use of a Miyazaki screenshot (this is pretty much the only place on the Internet where my avatar isn't Miyazaki-related), something like this would be more appropriate :

That doesn't look nearly as good, though.

The game is dark and full of terrors

HOLD THE DOOR

Let us begin!

That reminds me. What on earth happened to GreyICE? He/she just vanished after Adventures Mafia, and I've never seen him/her since. He wasn't a bad player.

I love how you go to the effort to make he/she the first two times, but the last time you're like "screw it He wasn't a bad player"

You actually loved that?

I just stopped caring enough to type it three times in a row.

Just type they.

But they is stupid, because it's plural. Not to mention, he is the accepted English definition for a neutral/unknown gender until recently.

Singular they is singular.

Seprix · « **Reply #139 on:** May 24, 2016, 01:33:23 pm »

Singular:
I
You
He/She/It

Plural:
We
You (all)
They/them

silverspawn · « **Reply #140 on:** May 24, 2016, 01:46:22 pm »

It's become a thing to use they as a singular form for a person with unknown gender.

I like it, personally. It sounds right to my ears.

Awaclus · « **Reply #141 on:** May 24, 2016, 01:51:02 pm »

It's been a thing for hundreds of years. Shakespeare was already using it.

For once I agree with Awaclus!

To be clear, Shakespeare did whatever the hell he wanted and invented about half the idioms that consitute the English language today.

Only a slight exaggeration.

Can someone explain to me why that word needs a second g by the way ? It's ridiculous.

Because ex-ager-ation sounds like something you do to prevent your face from getting wrinkly?

As if letters had any discernable impact on pronounciation. It's the English language, guessing how to pronounce something based on how it's written is like a lottery.

OK but it LOOKs a bit like it could be that, too.

Maybe.
