gollark: I don't *think* so.
gollark: In some cases you would have to contort your speech weirdly to make it work.
gollark: I mean, my brain only has access to bounded memory and computing time.
gollark: Gibson said "they decide how they wanted to referred to", which seems excessively general since, again, the supreme overlord of all, master of all space and time, destroyer of worlds, devourer of souls/the supreme overlord of all, master of all space and time, destroyer of worlds, devourer of souls/the supreme overlord of all, master of all space and time, destroyer of worlds, devourer of souls's/the supreme overlord of all, master of all space and time, destroyer of worlds, devourer of souls's/the supreme overlord of all, master of all space and time, destroyer of worlds, devourer of souls.
gollark: English is far too complex for sed.
