Organically developed, like, a community making a new word that fills a lexical need to describe a concept? Sounds a lot like “Mx.” to me. What’s stupid about it?

You just read an article about a non-binary person, so I think we can assume they are, indeed, “a thing.” Something tells me you don’t interact with a lot of queer people anyways, so your acceptance of their terms of address feels pretty irrelevant.

I usually hear it as “mix”.

All titles are “made up,” and Mx. as an honorific has been around for almost fifty years. A better question would be why our two main honorifics for people are so pointlessly gendered.

I still use Skiplagged pretty exclusively.

Thanks for the tip! I have it on my wishlist; can’t wait to start collecting some destiny stars again! 🐱🐱

Final Fantasy Tactics, Valkyrie Profile, and Suikoden 2!

Still waiting for all of these to someday port to Steam. 😅

For convoluted linguistic reasons, “x and me,” is correct and the default expression in English for this type of subject. If I recall, “x and I” is how it would be said in Latin, and I believe the desire to sound more educated // “proper” (like Latin) was the original reason that this phrase was pushed onto children in schools, by well-intentioned but ignorant school masters.
