AUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGH.Summary: speak the way you learned in high school English, or else you sound like a "chimp." I couldn't even read it anymore when I got to the part about using the subjunctive mood correctly, because seriously? Who the hell even notices the subjunctive mood in English anymore?

These are the things that darken my day.

No one is allowed to complain about improper uses of "they" ever again. English is an evolving language, and "they" is filling the niche for "gender neutral plural/singular" pronoun at this point in time. DEAL WITH IT.

I try to refrain from using "they" as a universal pronoun when writing papers for uni, but it gets so annoying if I'm speaking of a person hypothetically and I have to type "he/she" or "(s)he" EVERY. FUCKING. TIME. Informally, I just stick "they" in. :'D
