Hello John, it's Tim, I hope this email finds John well. Tim was wondering if John had sent in that report John and Tim had finished yesterday or if Tim should do it.

"Tim" is short for "Timothy" and comes from the Greek. Tim has implicitly exhibited a tribal affiliation. The relevant identifier is not Tim's name, but the role in the organization, "Second of two report co-authors, division of administrative affairs, tertiary adjunct of unimatrix zero one",

Pronouns aren't banned; what's banned is the extremely common courtesy of adding pronouns (or tribal affiliations) to email signatures. That last bit is especially perverse.

"this" and "that" are sometimes pronouns, hence too dangerous! Tim doesn't want to wind up having to hire a linguist to defend Tim before a tribunal.

Try talking about the weather without “it.” Better not use “what” either, just to be sure. Q: The temperature is cold. Tell me the thermometer reading. A: The reading is 29 degrees Fahrenheit. Q: Is rain or snow falling? A: Neither rain nor snow is falling. Rather, sleet is falling.

In all seriousness, the policy only bans pronouns in signature blocks (the policy is specifically for "contact information"). We should count ourselves lucky that people are still allowed to correct others who misgender them.

I play a game with my 6th graders that I call the "No Pronoun Challenge." They each get 100 pipe cleaners, & anytime they are caught using a pronoun, they lose a pipe cleaner. The person with the most pipe cleaners at the end of the day is the champion. They're pipe-cleanerless pretty quickly.

Did the lawmakers even think this through? Did no individuals bring it up to the lawmakers how this is unrealistic? Pronouns are literally part of the English language. It makes the lawmakers and the people of the state look like idiots. (Not using pronouns is hard.)
