      I literally never claimed that I could do that, but whatever, I don’t feel like arguing. This is one of those situations where I feel pretty confident that I’m right but where I don’t actually know enough to be able to explain exactly how confidently and without getting misinterpreted. The problem with that type of situation is of course that someone far more confident can just say things that I think are wrong unchallenged, God forbid.

      Again, if only there were any scholarly linguistics articles about the usage of “bro” in 2023/2024 that would shine a light on why it is or (as I see it) isn’t a pronoun.
