Wait, you can have your pronouns be lowercase all the time?

@pillowcat hell yeah happy to help idk what I did but I'm glad to have done so

@fluxom_alt I mean, Tess and I are directly stealing Qiru's pronouns.

We had no idea that was a thing till we read the latest side story.

@pillowcat @fluxom_alt what pronouns are those? we are not familiar with the story you reference

@Felthry @pillowcat it/it's, always lowercase.

at some point I'll train gdocs to stop capitalizing it at the start of sentences and that'll either be the start or end of writing problems

@fluxom_alt @pillowcat oh! it pronouns are good, i'm definitely not biased

@Felthry @fluxom_alt Though, now that I think about it, there is a slight difference between Qiru's pronouns and ours; we're much more pedantic on the difference between its and it's. >u<

@pillowcat @Felthry im bimbo and dont know the difference so i just guess every time agskagsksgakdhdjdla

@fluxom_alt @Felthry Oh, its is possessive, it's is for contractions (e.g. it is, it has).

@pillowcat @Felthry i think... i think i might have written that backwards agdkajhsd

@fluxom_alt @pillowcat i mean it's one of the most common and most understandable things people get mixed up, no one's going to blame you
