    You obviously understand English to a lesser degree than me. I nowhere wrote that I made demands to comply with me. Where on earth do you get that idea that offering a perspective is a demand?

      then use “they”, do you speak exclusively with yourself? your linguistic choices affect others, just like others’ linguistic choices affect you (as you were noticing and complaining about)

        After 30 years of education saying otherwise it is not so easy.

        do you speak exclusively with yourself?

        I don’t speak English with others at all. I’m not in an English speaking country.

        your linguistic choices affect others

        Having a hard time grasping completely new concepts is not a choice.
