Can you please make a few more posts about this? I don’t think you got your point across yet.
good idea 😁

Wait, so you made all these posts because the author uses generic masculine for documentation?
That’s it?
I was hoping for something more dramatic.
It think the discussion of this issue has been thoroughly explored in your other post on the “free and open source” community. People know about this now. Is there anything else to cover? All that will be talked about is either “wow, that was an overreaction from the Dev, they seem close-minded” or “you should separate the tech from the developer” or people (bigots) just saying they think he made the right choice.
The discussion is stale.

i think that a gender neutral language can be inclusive for some people but at the same time can be an exclusive language, because can be confusing for other people, is not obvious that it’s the right choice, that’s my opinion
“Singular they” has been common in english since somewhere in the 1300s. Idk how it is confusing, and even if it is, do those individual’s opinion outweigh like grammar? If people are confused they can learn, lest they be confused forever. “They” in this instance would be replacing “he”, so I think the benefit is clear. Or avoid ambiguity by just saying “the developer” (cus I think it was Dev documentation iirc).
Edit:
Maybe it was referring to the browser itself? Therefore “it” would make things much less confusing.“How can you be so bigoted against bigots?!”
In this context the use of “they” is just proper English though. I can’t fault someone who speaks a gendered language from using gendered pronouns as is proper in that language, but the use of “they” in English is correct and hardly political or exclusive. Every language is going to have rules that may be strange to non-native speakers, but any “confusion” is easily remedied by explaining that’s just how the language works. I find that’s also part of the fun of learning another language. I especially love trying to mix the rules of one language into another to see how silly it sounds. :)

Ladybird is a fork of the serenity browser, no?
Does this 3 year old pr involve anyone from the ladybird project?
