A certain person on this board has lost their mind!

[shebavpg]

I was quite shocked. :P

[zarlon]

golden ;)

[anewlife]

Could anyone please explain to me why it's 'their mind' and not 'its mind'?

(this is a serious question...)

Thanks guys! :suspicious:

[Wood]

uh.. because they/their is the pronoun commonly used to refer to a PERSON without implying gender

'it' would be an animal or inatimate object

[anewlife]

Thank you Wood!

But then why do you say...like...the person has lost its ability to...?!

(or is that wrong, too?)

Is mind plural in English? This is confusing.

[Pussy*Kat]

HAHAHAH

*sigh* (I read this thread over again)

I cant get over the stupid people on this board.


Fuck!

Common misconception, but no.

In fact, when you're talking about gender-inspecific person, you're supposed to use "he", though you can say "she" or "he/she" if you want to be politically correct.

i never said it was correct... just common. kinda would've blown Jase's gag if he'd used 'he' or 'he/she'
