It is ridiculous that after all this time complaining, y'all don't even know what a pronoun IS.

It does little to ease my mind that you didn't even understand what the problem is here.

Thanks for the support, Abby, but, truth be told, I paraphrased Russell for the sake of the meme, so it's on me. The actual quote is "You shouldn't say 'he' when a person is present, you should refer to a person by their name, that's basic good manners"

That might be true, but both your version and the real quote start with "you" which is what the troll has a problem with.

Personally, I don't see an issue, is it bad grammar to start a sentence with a pronoun? Are we not supposed to use a pronoun except when describing folks that are confused by their junk? Honestly?

Actually, I don't have a problem with Mr Brand's wording at all and the fact that you don't get why says everything about your lack of understanding here.
