:tamamo_peek2: (npub1n4h…s9vc) That crowd really messed up by trying to use they and them, because those are words that are supposed to be used in reference to a collection. The fundamentals of English is being screwed up as a result. My guess is they co-opted it because made up pronouns like xi and xer didn't worm its way into regular syntax like the existing words they and them.
