In recent times, many academic and popular publications have begun to accept the use of the pronoun “them” as singular pronouns, meaning that writers use them to respond to singular topics to avoid sexist pronouns. Although the pronoun “she” is only a plural pronoun in some style guides, APA encourages writers to use them as singular or plural pronouns, with the specific intention of embracing gender diversity. Most indeterminate pronouns correspond to singular verbs: among other frequently used nouns, which can accept either a singular verb or a pluralistic verb, depending on whether the emphasis is on a single unit or on individual elements, there are the number, the majority and the minority. The first examples cited in point 3) do not seem to be clarified! Here are some singular pronouns: me, you, she, he, this, himself, who this sentence refers to two prizes, the first and the second, for two people, Bob and Frank. The plural “price” should be used. The corrected sentence is, “Bob and Frank won the first and second place prizes in the back-to-elementary school competition.” Why is it a noun/verb chord when numbers 1 and 3 are pronouns and number 5 is expeletive? Shouldn`t it be a subject/verb match? Bob Kaplan: The mention “none” in Fowler`s Modern English Usage contains: “It is a mistake to think that the pronoun is only a singular and at all costs singular obsoles, etc. to be continued; The OED explicitly states that the plural structure is more common. Here are some plural names: cars, dandelions, cookies, tweets, plural nouns that designate individual objects such as scissors and pants, are compared to plural abbreviations, unless the phrase “couple of” is in front of the name; in this case, the couple is the subject: remember that a noun that ends on -s is often a plural, while a verb that ends on -s is usually singular: four home runs (plural); it runs fast (singularverb). Walden University prides itself on being an inclusive institution that serves a diverse population of students. Walden is committed to expanding the University`s understanding of inclusion and diversity and will now accept gender-neutral pronouns in student writing.

This practice recognizes the APA`s recent support for the singular “she” and also includes alternative pronouns currently in circulation (e.g. B the nominative xe, ve, ze / zir, ey and zhe and their associated derivatives). Walden acknowledges that the debate over gender identity is ongoing. Therefore, the university accepts any pronoun in student writings, as long as it can be proven that it is accepted as a respectful term by the community it represents. . . .
