    Wow look at all that text and all those links, must have been an exhausting session on google cherry picking things that support your argument, now I feel a little bad about not reading a single word of it.

      “Look mom I’m arguing by being obsessed enough to reply but not being able to address anything the man said”

      I’ve literally seen this more than a thousand times. It’s so pathetic.

      Ah, yes, “cherry picking” from all the answers supporting my rhetoric, because none support your delusions and I couldn’t find such even if I attempted to

      Remember this is just one profession.

      Do you call a painter a “paintress”? (So weird how that wiki link has “archaic” in before the word, isn’t it? :P)

      If you die in some states and your son is appointed to handle your estate, he is the “executor.” If it’s your daughter, she is the “executrix.” In other states, both would be “executors.” Those states, it seems, don’t care about the sex of the person handling the estate. But the English language does.

      Weird how you seem to have trouble finding anything on Google to cherrypick from, isn’t it? ;>

      Why are you needlessly gendering things which don’t need and do not want to be gendered?

          “Look, I’m replying to comments I admit to not reading! I’ve won this debate!”

          Yeah see I’m not too convinced. Mainly for having seen this asinine reaction more than a thousand times. Which is why I awaited for it.

          I was sort of “playing with my food” as it were. I don’t need any sources. I don’t need any authority to weigh in on this, because of just how massively wrong you were to begin with, and now I’ll try to simplify why, and I don’t really care whether you read it or not, as the point of forums isn’t one-on-one conversation, but public speaking. (Your messages are and will be public.)

          So… here’s the coup de grâce;

          Which one of the following English sentences would you use to express admiration and adoration of a person?

          [female celebrity] is my heroine!”

          OR

          [female celebrity] is my hero!”

          See if you use the first one, as your rhetoric implies you want to, and think everyone should participate in this needless gendering, then you’re implicitly saying you don’t understand that saying “x is my heroin” outloud means you’re addicted to something instead of admiring it (and that you don’t understand that “hero” is the colloquially used form). Which leads us back to me having a better command of the English language than you, making this conversation rather futile. <3

              How long do you think you’ll be able to keep up this “I have to reply, but I can’t actually say anything”?

              Because doing it for a few weeks in a row will look rather ridiculous on your profile.

                  So now your down to spamming “k”, because your “I didn’t read this comment I’m replying to” got called out, but you still actually can’t answer my earlier question.

                  What you should do is take the L and slink away.

                    I 'k’ed you exactly one time. That is not what spam means, conservative with a tenuous understanding of English.

                    Anyway, I’ll let you in on a little secret. The reason people do this to you is that you’ll head immediately to google to grab links and write walls of text in protest, and it’s funny to watch you do that. I was being honest when I said I didn’t read those three novels you wrote, but I did chuckle at how long they were, especially after you knew I didn’t read the first one
