Couldnt you replace chat with a lot of other nouns?

Chat, I don't feel this guy gets it.

(By which I mean, of course you could, same as you could replace any pronoun with one or several nouns, that being the entire deal with pro-nouns. We could but pronouns save us from having to do that.)

I wanted a list of all pronouns and thought the best way to get it was to make a c/asklemmy post asking people of all pronouns they knew, regardless of person, number, rarity or language

Also ki sounds cool and is now my favorite pronoun

First person:

I, we, yours truly, this one, your humble servant

Second person:

You, thou, ya'll, all y'all, you lot, youse guys

Third person:

She, he, it, that, this, xe, zhe, those, they

I'm not even going to go into object or possessive pronouns, or ones I know in non-English languages.

Reminds me of the situation with toki pona. The OG minimalist vocabulary, it was the users who had to incorporate a Western pronoun system for when they needed to clarify things. Before that, everyone was referred to in a non-binary way.

lol I can't even begin. I regularly use 4 languages, even defining what a pronoun is barely possible. Native speakers argue about the correct usage for some of those

I have no idea what's going on ever any more, but "who" is fun.

Short.

All the pronouns I know are short. In all languages.

That depends. See mosquito pronouns:

I couldn't list all the ones I know, only the ones I have come across. I remember once someone tried making the whole Bee Movie script their pronoun. Another time they were just dolphin sounds. I was like "guys, I have every intention to uphold your validity, but I need to throw a few rules into the equation". Just basic courtesy stuff.

All the ones I recall coming across that I can replicate:

First person:

I, we, me, myself, drag, shadow the hedgehog, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Intel Core i5-10400F CPU 16.0 GB RAM

Second person:

You, your, yourself, drag, shadow the hedgehog, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Intel Core i5-10400F CPU 16.0 GB RAM

Third person:

She, he, it, that, this, xe, zhe, those, they, drag, shadow the hedgehog, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Intel Core i5-10400F CPU 16.0 GB RAM
