I think that's the first time I've seen pronouns selected for how easy it is to say them and how well they fit in with the existing sets.
ha-haa! <does a little self-celebratory dance> yay original thinking!
The pronunciation thing is the songwriting influence. I've had cause to spend a lot of time considering the comprehensibility of different words, in particular as affected by the rhythm with which they're said (or indeed sung).
Do you mind if I pass the URL of this entry on to the Sphere list?
not at all - I would say "go ahead" but you already did :-)
There's currently a discussion in progress touching on many of the areas of interest you cover above.
yeah I've been lurking on sphere for the last couple of weeks (since you asked KH to sort out what was happening with my subscription, for which thanks). It was quite handy that that discussion came along when I was writing the post, 'cause it reminded me of a couple of things I wanted to say. E.g. to explicitly comment on the thing about whether we have to wait till we've all agreed before we can begin using them.
