I inserted a comma to make my meaning more clear, I hope. I’m not a native speaker so sorry if it was ambiguous

When I was young, I was poor. But after decades of hard work, I’m not young anymore.

Actually it’s older than people think. Shakespeare used it for stuff like “Every knight grabbed their sword”, and even for talking about a specific person it’s not a new phenomenon to use singular they if the gender doesn’t matter (so I was told in a linguistics sub over on r*ddit when I insisted it was new)

The only new thing is that people say, it’s their prefered pronoun.

The joke is that many, if not most, English dialects merge /ʌ/ with schwa but insist that the sounds are different because schwa is never stressed

The joke is that there actually is a book with that name arguing for a centralized planed economy. The argument goes that in capitalism, actually everything is planed too so why not switch to democratically planed instead

In which part are you with OP? That UBI is a good thing or that rent isn’t and landlords are leeches?
