grammar over gender politics, you stupid fucks
In order to further annoy me, LiveJournal sends out notices whenever someone comments on my posts. Here's an example.
Emphasis added. "Their" reply? It should be 'his' or 'her' reply. Or if they are really worred about gender politics, it should be 'the' reply. But not 'their' reply. Because it is not the reply of multiple clone Josh Endquotes. It is the reply of a single Josh Endquote.
Bad grammar in the name of gender neutrality is fucking dumb.

Josh Santangelo (endquote) replied to your LiveJournal post in which you
said:
> So, is foot worship mainstream or something? Did I miss that memo?
[REMOVED THE REST BECAUSE YOU DON'T GET TO READ IT SINCE THIS IS A PUBLIC ENTRY HAHA DON'T YOU WISH YOU WERE ON MY FRIENDS LIST BUT YOU GET TO READ JOSH'S REPLY AREN'T YOU LUCKY!!]
Their reply was:
I just tried, and I think in order to see that, one has to take the sex
quiz as well. And I'm sure as hell not going to have my peccadillos
listed in some random db somewhere. My SSN and checking account number,
sure, but not my stance on foot worship.
