This is why modern equality movements are a farce. Being gay used to be the big fight, but now that it's considered acceptable, they have to look for something new for the attention they crave.

Does he have dangly bits? Then Sam's a he.
If "how you want to be referred to" would flunk a middle school English quiz then you should not be taken seriously because you have lost your mind.

So it needs a lesson in 3rd grade English, then. “They” implies plurality. Is Sam Smith insane with multiple personalities or is Sam Smith just a fricking weird arse human with a penis?


They doesn't only imply plurality.

It implies plurality OR an unspecified person.

For example...

Coworker A: The bathroom door has been locked for half an hour..
Coworker B: I don't know who went in there, but they must be dropping the mother of all bombs.



Wife: Who was that on the phone?
Husband: Some telemarketer, they were selling extended warranties.



Who honked at me in traffic? I'm not sure, but they can go frick themselves.




That's not saying that Sam Smith isn't a total fricking nutjob, but they isn't necessarily grammatically incorrect.

Yes, but in this instance we know who "they" is.
Example: Myself, you, and Sam are having a conversation.
I would not say (in response to a question asked by Sam) that "They thinks you are crazy." I would say, "He thinks you are crazy."

For fricks sake..I'm so sick of this shite here.

I'm calling you what you appear as to me. If you are a guy trying to look like a girl, and are not doing a good enough job of convincing me..I'm calling you "he" or "him".

Want the right word, do a more convincing job.

I understand that he's a nutjob. It's not a grammar issue though, it's a mental health issue.

They, them, their are plural third person pronouns...

It's just grammatically confusing.

... Unless Sam identifies as multiple people.
