Proposal: E’s were soooo much better then they’s

self-killed
Failed by Hix

Adminned at 09 Feb 2007 13:57:19 UTC

If “E’s are bad” passes this proposal does nothing”, otherwise,

Remove “Spivak pronouns, as defined in the Glossary, shall be used whenever an Actor is referred to.” from Rule 1.1.

Repeal Glossary section 3.5 (Spivak).

Replace all Spivak with appropriate instances of the singular “X”, throughout the ruleset.

Add a new Rule, “Spivak Cleanup” (so that later proposals don’t have to worry about whether to use Spivak):-

Spivak usage shall be adjusted into the singular form of “X”, whenever a proposal passes that contains Spivak. Any admin may repeal this rule at any time.

All comments containing counted votes should also contain a nomination for the replacement word. The nomination that is mentioned most will replace “X” when this Proposal is enacted. If there is a tie, the winner is decided at the discretion of the Investor. Finally, those who voted against can vote on the unit of currency.

against it’s not like there’s a single “magic word” X we can replace all pronouns with.  If you must vote FOR, please everyone refrain from making idiotic suggestions as to how to change the grammar of the entire ruleset.

against She. As in, I went to the baker and took some of she bread. And I talked to The Doctor today and she was looking really fine. And Why don’t we just give all the herring to she.

(no one word can replace all pronouns)

Since this is no longer in danger of passing, I can retract my absurd nomination.

I didn’t mean to get your ire, Hix, but I thought this sort of motion was silly enough to merit a demonstration.

I notice that you did some direct copy-and-pasting from WBMIV.
