    my point still stands, the more a word is in use the less “silly” it sounds. if you shoot everything down as sounding “too silly” then nothing will ever rise to that bar and become “acceptable” enough to use. you’re basically going “i think neopronouns are silly and we shouldn’t use them” with extra steps.

      Neologims get added all the time. Being silly tends to help them spread, but it’s not a requirement.
