Proposal: No, Mr Spivak, I Expect You To Die [Evil]

Timed out and passed, 8-3. Josh

[ We removed Spivak from the glossary a while ago. ]

Replace all Spivak pronouns in the ruleset with appropriate usage of the singular “they”.

against Why did we remove it to begin with?  I think we should instead add it back to the glossary.  Also, I definitely would not want to be the one to admin this…

against Removing it from the glossary just means it follows normal usage instead of blognomic-specific usage.

I have no problem adminning it if it passes, and I’m guessing Kevan doesn’t either, since he does this periodically.

Yoda: The proposal removing Spivak from the glossary. (Spivak usage was mandatory at the time.)

for  I think we should either remove Spivak, (So it is called Spivak, didn’t know that) or add it to the faq page. I didn’t understand it at first. And thought that they where typos in the rules. (But then the pattern became apparent).

imperial I would rather the singular they, but it really makes little difference.
