My Flowering will be no earlier than mid-February at the Wildrose, and it will be preceded by dinner at Cafe Flora. You heard it here first. Watch this space for a more specific date & time. So saith the poll.

I think what really sealed that name for me, though, was watching shivana lay a square egg when I told zem in person. (Ha! I got the pronoun right, without even having to edit!) I notice an interesting and somewhat disturbing breakdown by gender among the name responses.

I know when Koe taught me the alternative pronouns, ze said that they were "per" and "ze".

[sistawendy.livejournal.com]

Hunh. I heard it as "ze", "per", and "zem", similar to the Spivak pronouns "e", "er", and "em".

[sheistheweather]

I'm just not sure where one would use "zem" in a place that "per" would not also be used.

[sistawendy.livejournal.com]

"Ze" = subjective, "per" = possessive, "zem" = objective. As in, "Ze doesn't like it when you get per pronouns wrong, so listen to zem when ze tells you which ones to use."

[sheistheweather]

Ahhhhh. I hadn't heard Koe use or explain "zem" before. Cool.

I was confused because she/her/her(s) and he/him/his are a bit different than each other, so assumed it followed one format when perhaps it follows the other.
