    Hi Herlock

    All words are made up and English is a rich and dynamic language because it changes so quickly and often.

    I think Zulock sounds quite mysterious.

    But actually, I agree with you about that. I haven't liked the scan and sound of some of the suggested alternatives like Ms. I personally don't use titles much now, I just use the person's name. And what seems to be happening now is that 'they' and 'them' are becoming singular as well as plural, and often used instead of he or she, especially by younger people.

      Hi Eten,

      Yes I’ve seen that some people asked to be called they which I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing to be honest. I agree with Jordan Peterson about not being told how to speak. For me it’s he or she I'm afraid.
      Regards

        Comrade Sholmes, I hear and accept your point. Likewise, we can both agree with comrade Eten on this matter. Give it about five years, and a plan will come into effect to remove this capitalist dogma once and for all. All hail Big Brother! ( Got to rush, can't miss the two minute hate, but I'll be back straight after, assuming I've not been denounced)

        Ok, I'm back, and (comrade Al Bundy's Eyes says, I love our leader, and his principles. Slavery is freedom, war is peace. All hail big brother!) the camps.

        It is the great and patriotic duty of our nation state to announce the heroic death of Al Bundy, who died fighting for our nation and our leader. He died fighting heroically for our nation, etc etc.
