  • “They” can quite happily function as singular. I asked my friend about this and they gave me their opinion. They told me that they use “they” or “them” to discuss people when their biological sex is unimportant or unknown. I would like to ask them more but they have to leave. They tell me that they’ll be back later.

    They (singular) say something. He/she/it says something. They (all) say something. You (all) say something. I say something. You (singular) say something. You’ll notice “he/she/it” seems to be the irregular outlier here. English is strange.


  • It’s a well known internet phenomena that’s actually called the “The Scunthorpe Problem”. Wikipedia has an article about it. Scunny isn’t the only town that suffers. On a side note the Spanish name Enrique can be shortened to the sounds “key-kay” which would be spelled “Kike” which is the spelling of an ethnic slur in English. I believe Sony deleted/banned some ps accounts because of this.




  • Well, the article was written eight months prior to product release; so its value and relevancy takes a nose dive immediately. The very first phrase : “Tech companies want us isolated and constantly staring at screens because it drives profit.” shows an embarrassing misunderstanding of AR - perhaps the reviewer got confused with VR? They are two very different things and should not be confused. Those were enough red flags that the “journalist” had an agenda to follow and kind of played themselves there.
