[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it's an anachronistic etiquette violation. But the same rule applies then as now and for people like OP's mom and people who state their pronouns -- do your best to call/refer to people the way they prefer. If you slip up, just apologize and try to do better next time.[/quote] This. My now 86yo mom was big on this. Just once I very carefully explained my use in the context of the sentence and she laid off, but I was very cautious about using "she" all my life, and it's stuck.[/quote] +1. Another this. My grandmother was a big stickler on not using “ she” . I always thought it was just her![/quote] My mother was like this as well. My mother would say "she is what we call the cow" -- and no, my mother was not raised on a farm.[/quote]
