I apologise for that, and btw I got a warning for it, I bet he won't.

Also, I'm not someone who obsesses over a particular poster like some do, I hadn't even realised it was you that I called.

Also, I am a him so can people please stop calling me they/them, that's twice today!

It's common grammar... Their was used because they're your own posts, nobody is forcing pronouns on you, we're just using common grammar rules mate.

You're absolutely obsessed, it's hilarious, you're just coming across like a satire and I'm kinda vibing with it.

Common grammar eh, smart arse, 'their' is a possessive form of the third-person plural pronoun. I am a single person and wish to be addressed as he / him / his as is correct

Just living up to your troll image.

And I'm not your mate.

I suppose they didn't teach grammar in schools when you were growing up.

From your own article

This means that it is most commonly used as a third-person pronoun, describing a noun that is owned by several people.

Although their is generally used in a plural form, it is also used as a gender-neutral personal pronoun in place of his or her.

The word commonly denotes that, well, it's commonly used in such a way but isn't unique to that useage.

The Oxford Dictonary states it's fine to use it in the way two people have, and also states that experts can be referred to as they, and you come across like an expert on certain matters so I was using it purely out of respect.

Experts is plural and Merriam Webster is American, they can't even get the usage of 'bring' and 'take' right so I wouldn't lean on them too heavily.

The use of they, their, theirs, them, and themselves in reference to pronouns of indefinite gender and indefinite number is well established in speech and writing, even in literary and formal contexts. These forms have also been adopted by individuals whose gender identity is nonbinary, as illustrated in sense 3d of they. The singular pronoun themself is also increasingly gaining acceptance as an alternative to themselves when referring to just one person.

The reference to 'themself' is self defeating as that is a singular term as opposed to 'themselves' but, most people would expect to use either himself or herself.

and all these from that link, all plural.

The birds have left their nest.
The trees have all shed their leaves.
All the furniture in their house is brand-new.
They are on friendly terms with their neighbors.
The students are seeking to exercise their rights.
Their artwork is on display at the museum.
He was angry because of their arriving late.

I love you mate, this is hilarious.

Edit: I might actually just unblock you just so I don't have to click "view post"

I think you've shown your hand too easily in that it's a satire account.

They are taking the piss and they have shown that the UK education system has failed them. Giving the benefit of considerable doubt and assuming you're not still at school.

So does that mean I would be safe if I said that I thought you were a f**king tw*t?

As long as I genuinely thought it was true?

Appropriately

?And now I know how Joan of Arc felt?

Meanwhile, the weaponisation of the law continues with the government seemingly intent on Tommy Robinson, never being freed.
