1) Thank you and now to the real issue
2) I have a problem with pronouns !
And I just read about a 90 year old Lady, that was not allowed to be a volunteer for the MS society, because they asked about her Pronoun - I am Danish - and danish is my native language - but I also speak English, as my mother was English (but only everyday English (and that's not always the same as everyday American !).

But when I had to registere here a DEV, you put the question to me : your pronoun ? (I believe that's what you asked ! ) -
and I had no Idea, what the F**** you where talking about (I'm not 90 only 74)

So I used Google translate and that didn't help, the first search gave me the flowing
Eng : Pronouns - Danish : Pronominer
That something that you use in grammar !!, not in everyday life, and actually that's only an academic term - so I Googled it in danish (What does "Pronominer" mean in everyday danish ? ) Google came up with the good old danish word - that I understod :"Stedord"
I looked it up in a danish grammar, and if you google translate the answer from the danish grammar to English you get : "Pronouns {Stedord in danish} (pronouns) are important small words such as he, the, our, mine, etc. They refer to people, objects or relationships without using a name or description. I saw him, but he did not see me. They saw Peter and me and ran their way."

Now - I'm still pondering, what that has to do with me !!!

Tell me if I am wrong ! : I am a HE - not that that has anything to do with DEV and programmering - so why do you want to know this ??? OK, I know that the name Kim can be a woman or a man - and what has that to do with programmering ??? will my code suddenly change if I a was a women or a trans.. - I really don't care, what sex anyones has, as long as they can help me, understand some technical problem I face -
or will I be suspended from DEV because, I really didn't understand what all this was about, until 1 hour ago, when I read about a 90 year old lady ....
