US publisher “they to be a pronoun not classified as male or female” September 19th, 5:26
The pronoun “they”, which means plural meanings such as “them” and “them” in English, is a singular that a major American publisher represents a person who is not classified as a man or a woman with a sexual minority in mind. We are announcing that we will add meaning, and are calling for debate.
Leading publisher “Meriam Webster”, which sells dictionaries and the like in the United States, announced on Twitter on the 18th that “they was added as a synonym that is not classified as male or female”.
In addition, the website explains that it can be used with individuals with sexual minorities in mind as “used for individuals who feel that they are neither men nor women”.
The movement of using thee as a singular pronoun is also seen in the American media, and the AP newsletter said that two years ago, "I don't want to be described as a person who says I am neither male nor female," he "or" she " "For those who feel that", it is announced that it will be used in a limited manner after knowing that the target is one person.
As for the announcement of this publisher, while the voice of “I like this expression” is raised on the net, “It is hard to believe that this expression is generally used” or “I am confused” Negative opinions have also been sent and debated.
