<h1>how to: <span class="name">noe</span>'s pronouns</h1>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Hello there! One might've just asked, "How in the heck do
|
|
<span class="dont" title="consider not using this pronoun">your</span>
|
|
pronouns work?"... It's complex, but maybe really simple.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<i
|
|
>and yes, you've stumbled upon a weirdo with "pronouns"! we might even
|
|
exist!</i
|
|
>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<hr />
|
|
<p>
|
|
<span class="one">This one</span> is an "<span class="_3pp">it/its</span>"
|
|
and "<span class="_3pp">3pp pref</span>" (third-person pronouns preferred)
|
|
creature! <span class="_3pp">It</span> will commonly refer to
|
|
<span class="_3pp">itself</span> in 3rd person, and would like others to try
|
|
the same. Some phrases are <b>Hard</b> to switch to 3rd person, such as
|
|
"thank you!", and other times "you" is just easier!
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<span class="name">noe</span> is acutely aware of the difficulty
|
|
<span class="_3pp">it's</span> asking. Please do what feels best! If one can
|
|
refer to <span class="name">noe</span> without personalized pronouns, that
|
|
would make <span class="_3pp">it</span> very happy!~
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>how does one refer to <span class="name">noe</span>?</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
With love, of course!~ The following sections "expand" into examples of use.
|
|
These examples assume the reader uses first person pronouns to self-refer.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Please use:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary><span class="_3pp">it/its</span></summary>
|
|
<p class="head">
|
|
Imagine that noe is a helpful robot. It just helped a creature do
|
|
something. It was very useful!
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<em>(in place of "she"):</em>
|
|
<span class="_3pp">It</span> wrote a story I enjoyed... I wonder what
|
|
<span class="_3pp">it's</span> up to today.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<em>(in place of "you"):</em>
|
|
OMG <span class="_3pp">it</span> gave me an idea!
|
|
</p>
|
|
</details>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary>
|
|
<span class="name">noe</span> or <span class="name">41666</span>
|
|
</summary>
|
|
<p class="head">
|
|
Imagine that noe is "not around" (even when it is) and one needs to
|
|
refer to it.<br /><br />
|
|
41666 is also its name and serial number, it is acceptable to call it
|
|
4, 41, or 416.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<em>(in place of "she"):</em>
|
|
We all know how gay <span class="name">noe</span> can be, even if
|
|
<span class="_3pp">it</span> doesn't say~ We still know~
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<em>(in place of "you"):</em>
|
|
Good morning! How is <span class="name">noe</span> doing today?
|
|
</p>
|
|
</details>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<details>
|
|
<summary>
|
|
<span class="one">this one/that one/one/onesself</span>
|
|
</summary>
|
|
<p class="head">
|
|
Imagine that noe is more of a concept or a thing in a place, able to
|
|
be pointed at.<br /><br />
|
|
|
|
As a rule of thumb, keep the "this" vs "that" consistent throughout a
|
|
sentence; this and that aren't the same things.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p class="extra">
|
|
"That/this one" can be freely replaced with "that unit", "that doll",
|
|
"that thing", "that robot", or any other affectionate term towards a
|
|
relevant object.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
<em>(in place of "she"):</em>
|
|
I get what <span class="one">that one</span> is saying but... <br />
|
|
<span class="one">This one</span> called me cute. That is an affront
|
|
to the church.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<em>(in place of "you"):</em>
|
|
Surely, <span class="one">this one</span> cannot be serious...<br />
|
|
<span class="one">That one</span> seems ultra eepy... zzzZZZ
|
|
</p>
|
|
</details>

|
<h2>
|
|
what if depersonalizing <span class="name">noe</span> is too difficult?
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>That is O.K.! Anyone gets a free pass if a creature finds it difficult.</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<span class="one">This one</span> goes by traditional "she/her/hers" and
|
|
"they/them" in a professional setting.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Be aware though... <span class="name">noe</span> will likely treat you
|
|
professionally if you use those; and less like a "friend".
|
|
<span class="_3pp">It</span> can't help that, you'll need to be fine with
|
|
that.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>
|
|
bonus: how will <span class="name">noe</span> refer to
|
|
<span class="_3pp">itself</span>?
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Very carefully! <span class="_3pp">It</span> will usually speak as if
|
|
<span class="_3pp">it</span> is not <span class="one">onesself</span>, such
|
|
as in third person. <span class="one">This one</span> will refer to
|
|
<span class="_3pp">itself</span> as <span class="_3pp">it</span> has in this
|
|
entire page. Sometimes, <span class="_3pp">it</span> will do some creative
|
|
things to English to ensure the point gets across, such as stripping
|
|
beginning pronouns ("I went to the..." becomes "went to the"), or either
|
|
collectivizing or personalizing pronouns that might not otherwise need
|
|
special treatment
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
<span class="name">noe</span> may use the royal "we" or "us" to refer to
|
|
<span class="_3pp">itself</span> as stand-in for first-person singular
|
|
pronouns. <span class="_3pp">It</span> sometimes means sysmates too, but
|
|
sometimes not~
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<h2>
|
|
bonus 2: <span class="_3pp">its</span> or <span class="_3pp">it's</span>?
|
|
</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The word "<span class="_3pp">its</span>" is possessive. This website
|
|
contains <span class="_3pp">its</span> pronouns.<br />
|
|
<br />
|
|
The word "<span class="_3pp">it's</span>" is a contraction of "<span
|
|
class="_3pp"
|
|
>it</span
|
|
>
|
|
is". <span class="_3pp">It's</span> going to visit a new universe.
