gollark: If I don't add a pronoun search engine to osmarks.tk to search someone's entire internet history for any mention of their pronouns, am I not being accepting?
gollark: If someone insists on certain pronouns and they're either weird/nonstandard (and I don't like them), or they change them all the time, I will ignore them and say "they" or something.
gollark: Yes. I just go by "them" or probably something else if someone asks and I remember.
