Y'all shouldn't worry, "yous" will never catch on.

[GiglameshDespair]

"Yous" sounds like a bad accent.

what's a bad accent

A accent that involves saying "Yous".

Why don't we just replace all pronouns with megatron.

... is it wrong of me to find amusement in that statement missing a n?

And because optimus would be much better, C. That's why.

[Rolan7]

...I see what you did there.
(It would be Optimal)

And yeah I admit "yous" sounds weird, it's just actually useful.  More so than gendered pronouns anyway, and without the issues regarding fluid people *cough*

1. no such thing as canon in language
2. even if there were, shakespeare used it, which is about as close as you can get

I was thinking earlier today about how weird congreeting is. It only ever leads to smilets, you know? It's like a bubukle on social acceptance's metaphorical face.

[hops]

I wonder what a bubukkakle is like.

I was more or less poking fun at your claim that Shakespeare using a word is as close as it gets to being canonical English by using words he used that never caught on. Slippery slopes are claiming that an event will inevitably follow another without argument for the inevitability of the event.

These are two completely different things.

Apparently, something you just made up.
The only result was this very page.

[hops]

Look mom I'm on Google Search! (bubukkakle)

[TheBiggerFish]

Weird, it does not happen twice.

[Frumple]

In any case, a bubukkakle would be a small bruised clam. <sub>cockle with a booboo, geddit

E: ... are clams even capable of bruising?</sub>

Why don't we just replace all pronouns with megatron.

Megatron went to the store and saw Megatron smashing the canned corn.
there. megatron did it, not megatron
