Ranch or Blue Cheese!?!?!?

If you don't look at names, how does knowing a pronoun help?

It does help at random times. If I ever need to @ someone, it helps to know the pronouns. Or if I speak to people regularly, like with you, I know what their preferances are. Out in public threads with people that I rarely communicate with, it is not too much of a worry. But if I find a thread I like it is helpful just to know by seeing their profile picture what pronouns to use. It all gets stored away in my "maybe possibly useless information" section of my brain.

If people are always changing their photo, though, I do look at their names. Triplet changes hers often, so I have to look at the name. But with you and Bill, I merely look at the picture as I hit the quote button. Dyslexics are funny like that.

So, time to change mine back to a "B"? Got it.

This thread has went downhill in a hurry.
Idk why people think pronouns are so cool now and should be discussed at the beginning of every conversation with someone you meet.
Guess I've always been more of an adjective kinda guy. I wish people would tell me their adjectives right up front so I don't mistake them.
I miss the School House Rock days of ol.

I don't see how that would work. Someone would claim smart as their adjective, but everyone else would know better.

Blue cheese all the way!

But doesn't that also happen with pronouns?

Yes, but here in the interwebs we have little frame of reference. Being told can help here.

I was thinking IRL or TV. I'm still new to these "interwebs"

Altough, I am kinda curious about blue cheese's pronouns. "It" maybe? "That"?
