Second option for gender-neutral pronouns in Polish
editThere is another option for non-binary people who prefer gender-neutral pronouns in Polish language aside from "onu". It's quite similar - it's "ono" which is also used for kids of unknown gender. It's conjugation is: Ono, onego, onemu, ono, onym, onym.
I just thought I'd add this info because I use this set of pronouns myself and I know many people who also do. I.M.BatCat (talk) 23:19, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
"Polish onu gaining popularity"
editI deleted the sentence about "onu" gaining popularity. Zaimki.pl is a website that propagates using pronouns like "onu" so it's biased, therefore lacks NPOV.
"Onu" and zaimki.pl also lacks notability, for example, there is no articles about "onu" or zaimki.pl (or even "dukaizmy") in Polish Wikipedia, which is telling something by itself. In English Wikipedia, in article about "onu", you can also find a template telling reader that it is not meeting Wikipedia's general notability guideline.
It is also worth mentioning, that Krytyka Polityczna (other source) is a far-left magazine and web of institutions/activists of such political option. 2A02:A313:4348:D580:E9BE:5EF0:A3B1:153A (talk) 23:26, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
description of English first- and second-person pronouns as "gender-neutral"
editFirst- and second-person English pronouns developed organically, hence, they're properly described as "unmarked for gender", not by the recent prescriptionist phrase, "gender-neutral". "Gender neutral" is clearly not taxonomic/descriptive, otherwise, the pronoun, "you" would be described as "case neutral". Also, the generic "he", when the referent or antecedent is a mixed-sex group, though it's identical to its masculine use is properly taxonomised as "common gender", not "masculine", similar to how the German articles "der" and "dem" can be masculine or feminine/masculine or neuter respectively, depending on the case.
Looking further through the page, any entry for any usage that was current before 1960, before which the prescriptionist "gender neutrality" was not a thing, e. g., "one" as a generic pronoun, should be deleted or at the least "gender neutral" replaced with "common gender" or "unmarked for gender". 185.205.225.132 (talk) 13:11, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
Date format
editThis article is veering all over the place between at least three inconsistent date formats, and needs to be normalized to one, per MOS:DATEVAR. I'm of a mind to impose DMY, since this subject has nothing to do with the US in particular so doesn't seem to have any cause to use MDY. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼 06:34, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
