Is Horton a hu?
No, he just heard a Hoo. He was not, himself, a Hoo. Hu says? Horton is an elephant. |

I want the record to show, in every hu-related thread, that I, INFOPRI, NO LONGER USE HU! I want to make sure no one misses it, so that when mugreth starts the next "to-hu-or-not-to-hu" thread (and come on, mugreth, you know you want to, you trouble-making little newbie!), oldadjunct, larryc, adhoc, and the other bullies pick on someone who actually gives a hu. (Okay, it's only OA so far, I think, but you know the others will believe him when he calls me a hu-user, or, worse, a jedi.) And, larryc, you evil, evil man, you: Now, instead of weekly hu arguments, you want several hu threads going simultaneously? Are we not giving you enough excitement?
Maybe I should put my hu-eschewing announcement on EVERY thread?

Except for the 9 times you used it here! Sorry, just trying to stir the pot a bit more. You can put it in your byline and then all would know. I don't know how I feel about the word myself but it is not something that prevents me from reading postings when someone does use it. It doesn't matter either way. |

Actually, on the thread that generated this little outburst, I did make a disclaimer that I'd continue to use the word in hu-related debates, but I would no longer use it as a pronoun. Still, perhaps I should consider your suggestion. I don't know how I feel about the word myself but it is not something that prevents me from reading postings when someone does use it. It doesn't matter either way.
Now THAT'S a GOOD nightowl. With those two sentences, you have won my heart...or something. For what it's worth. :) |

Horton's momma is a ho. I heard it from a hoo.
Hypothetically, could a hu (who is not necessarily a ho) hear a hoo? |

Exactly. I wish others would adopt this attitude. Use it or don't. Ignore posts that include it or read them. Just stop fighting about it. |

*!* is contagious, but appropriate hu use can protect you (see http://www.hupronoun.org/). My God. Take your pom poms elsewhere unless you have something substantive to say. |
