Editorial Report B

      This editorial post is a bigger one because it's a completely newly added paragraph? Look how shiny and fresh the words and arguments are!

Selection From Rough Cut

Re-Edited Selection
New words seem to scare people when they have to address how new they truly are, and yet they don’t realize how quickly and how often a new word or phrase will become part of everyday speech. How quickly did the use of Twitter and talking with internet lingo catch on, so quickly that words that were made only months before; “on fleek”, the concept of “Netflix and Chill” and the like were nominated along with “they” for word of the year (Guo). The reason such words catch on so quickly is popularity, the words were used en masse by some that others would become interested in and begin to repeat, to the point that it is accepted easily. If the concern is that it is “too hard” linguistically to pick up a new word with which to address someone, then it’s actually the person is unwilling to make the change; gender classifications in language are not what one would think, that there are male and female and perhaps neuter, gender classifications in language actually have very little to do with biological genders, gender classifications can be from none, to twenty different “gender classifications” (Curzan). These have nothing to do with gender, and should not be used in argument for pronouns, a linguistic argument quickly falls through when trying to find reasons against the use of a gender neutral pronoun in general, especially against the use of the pronoun “they”.

Content Change
Well this was an addition of new arguments, how new words are accepted into languages all the time and how exactly gender in linguistics does not have anything to do with pronouns or actual gender. I think it lends more logical weight to my argument

Form Change
           Well It's a new paragraph, so I added like a paragraph to the entire work, and moved everything else down like an entire page.
