#linguist — Public Fediverse posts

What if we used specific first- and second-person pronouns for non-conscious entities? I think this might help avoid #confusion and #cognitiveload when interacting with #bots, etc. Any #linguists or #conlangers here who have seen attempted solutions to this problem (or who have a good idea of how it might be solved)?

Also, Sapphic from Sappho, right?

So Wildeic / Wiledic from Oscar Wilde, for androphilic. andric?

Ah whatever. mlem.
