Comments shamelessly requested. Once upon a time, when writing up one of my dreams, I had a character that had no gender. Wasn’t male, wasn’t female, even though ke had aspects of both, ke wasn’t either. I wasn’t happy with using “This Person”, “they”, or “their” to represent kem and after some…

When I was in high school, I had English teachers with pet peeves about grammar—didn’t [don’t] we all?

Hi there :)
Well, there are a few preliminary things to think about and research.

We were discussing homosexuality because of an allusion to it in the book we were reading, and several boys made comments such as, “That’s disgusting.” We got into the debate and eventually a boy admitted that he was terrified/disgusted when he was once sharing a taxi and the other male passenger made a pass at him.

Did you know that the minimum wage for servers hasn’t been raised in 21 years? In addition to increasing the restaurant worker minimum wage, this bill would allow waiters to accrue paid sick time.
