They Speak Australian In Heaven

There I was standing at the Pearly Gates
I was so excited to learn my fate
   First, they sat me down
   On my head a crown
Then the question ~ What are your pronouns, mate?!

I believe that you are correct, John. Anti-nouns lives anti-matter. ~ Spokesman for the cause

Superb! When you figure out the pronouns, let me know, because I'm very confused by all this pronoun **it.

I carry a copy of that 'pronoun sheet' around with me... If that doesn't work, I improvise by pretending to cough: 'Er, um, uz, ahem.' I think that all those are approved pronouns today. lol. Fun in the Sun, gw
