Title: Intermittens #4
Post by: Mesozoic Mister Nigel on December 11, 2008, 05:33:18 PM
Now accepting submissions for Intermittens #4... I am thinking this will be the "Lollercaust issue" and you know what that means!


For this issue can we all just knock the fuck off with the "but not all" qualifier? I think that people here are literate enough to TOTALLY GET that if you MEANT "ALL", you would have SAID "ALL".

Adding more words does not always convey more meaning.

Am I way off base here? I think it just trains people to think they DO mean "all" unless specified otherwise. If anyone misunderstands "some" to mean "all" they need to STOP BEING SO FUCKING LITERATELY LAZY.

"Some" "Most", and "Many" DON'T MEAN ALL. We get it.

Hrmmm, a reasonable request.

How about this, I'll start pulling mosbunall and sombunall from my future posts (I may occasionally miss one, but I'll try). That will remain in effect until the next debate where someone decides I'm wrong because "Not all X is Y" after I used the term most. At that point it goes back in.

OK?

:lulz:

What if instead of putting it back in, you just say "I DIDN'T SAY ALL, DIPSHIT, I SAID MOST, LEARN TO READ!"

Because I think that's fair.

Much more entertaining to read too

The usage might be justified in rare instances.  Most-if-not-all times, most stands alone.

How about "most-if-not-all"?

That has a fairly specific meaning (although the hyphens are unnecessary IMO).

It suggests that the speaker believes that most X are Y, and considers it a decent possibility that all X are Y.


I have no idea if anything I'm saying is relevant to anything at all.

Sombunal is aimed to indicate that the speaker is talking from a subjective position "Some of X" (perhaps "Some" could even mean "Every X I Observed, but I haven't observed ALL X in the world, so I can't say for sure about those). In most cases, its to specify that  you aren't making a braod statement of fact, but rather a statement from a position of "partial knowledge".

And all the cultures with genderless pronouns are stupid and spineless too then?

Is this code for "intersex and androgynous people are stupid and spineless?"

If so, I have a hearty fuck you, douchebag, reserved just for you.

I think sombunall is silly and more an obstacle to understanding than a clarifier, while genderless pronouns have a biological basis as well as a cultural history.

these words are like, atleabunonearly seventy years old or something. ("at least, but not nearly")

time to coin something new!!! we are the newbunol' discordia, after all ("new but not old")

albunoso - "all but not some", for if you want to say "all", and really mean it.

I wouldn't call genderless pronouns stupid, but I would call them pedantic and dull, and generally used in unnecessary situations.
Especially so on the internet, where the little pictures with words beside them could be any species let alone gender.

Perhaps, the only people I have ever encountered who use gender neutral terminology are people online As I mentioned before. I find gender identity or vocalisation of an absence of it on the internet laughable so I can admit I am predisposed to associate negative things with them. I'm unsure how I would react to it if I was talking to a person in real life that uses them.
So far my experience of it still seems like a crutch of a bland personality trying to sound more interesting.

Perhaps, the only people I have ever encountered who use gender neutral terminology are people online As I mentioned before. I find gender identity or vocalisation of an absence of it on the internet laughable so I can admit I am predisposed to associate negative things with them. I'm unsure how I would react to it if I was talking to a person in real life that uses them.
So far my experience of it still seems like a crutch of a bland personality trying to sound more interesting.


Is a gender identity that isn't neatly masculine or feminine laughable IRL?

I wouldn't call genderless pronouns stupid, but I would call them pedantic and dull, and generally used in unnecessary situations.
Especially so on the internet, where the little pictures with words beside them could be any species let alone gender.

I'd agree that they're generally used in unnecessary situations but properly contextualized they're perfectly appropriate.

Yes. Just as laughable as a gender identity that is neatly masculine or feminine but not quite as laughable as someone who thinks gender identities are srs bidness :lulz:

I get my yucks where I can find them.

IRL is where the person origionates, its something tangible as opposed to the internet.
All gender identity is laughable, neatly or not, but i would be more likely to listen in real life when I can be more sure the person even exists.

I've said it before, and will say it again, if you need gender neutral terms to describe yourself with, there are already several in the english language. There is no need to make some up.

I'm still calling a lawyer.  I've got copies of relevant threads saved already. 

I respect and enjoy most of you, but when a project I'm not even invovled with has the potential to threaten my job and reputation, personally or professionally, then I have little choice.  I hope you'll all do the same, or at least understand where I'm coming from.   

I'll also no longer be posting here, regardless of how this turns out.
