doing homework now
but I just wondered something:
Is there any language known where instead of differentiating pronouns by gender, there are different categories for the order in which the corresponding nouns are mentioned? Like one third-person pronoun that basically means “the former” and another that means “the latter”?
It would make sentences like “he viewed him” so much easier to avoid without excessive name-usage.
ASL, and I believe other sign languages, assign antecedents to locations in the physical space the conversation occupies.

I use he pronouns. Don't show me pictures with creepy faces in them.
I post a lot about linguistics, some silly shit- cat gifs and the like- whiny text posts, things that make me angry, and every once in a while a good song.
I also run a blog called Misandrist Music as my drag persona, Ms. Andrea Dworkit. It's exactly what it says on the label. You should check it out!
