I’m just gonna say it…… the way this guy descriptively talks, just annoys the hell out of me. Just to explain that somebody looked at another person would take this guy a full 20 sentence paragraph to get across. I love the artwork I love the premise I can’t stand the verbiage. These videos are about three times longer than they need to be. And if this person with shorten up the narration, people would watch 10 times the number of these videos.
Your story would be improved by using traditional pronouns. Woke use of they for a single individual gets really old for those of us who took English class more than five years ago.
I am not really woke, but the use of "they" for a single individual is a bit older than that five years you mention. It is at least a century old and going by your comment your teacher failed you in this regard.
While my english personal pronouns were taught me slightly less than the century ago, I remember massive rows about "they" between staff, between pupils, and, inter alia, between neighbouring schools. Mine was a grammar, incidentally. The overall consensus was that "they" was plural-only when sentient beings were involved, except where a single entity served as a class-identifier, such as species, nationality, height, etc, or when referring to the "third gender", ie hermaphroditic humans etc.
0.12 loved the humor, and the story, thank you.
That is how a good bar is run...
The dots are actually periods at the end of a sentence. In reading the sentence back you do not say dot or period.
