"Which one?", I hear you ask. The one that you were having a conversation with. What happens or does not happen to the other John K Clark's has nothing to do with Mr. You. * *If all this sounds strange and rather convoluted it's not my fault, it's the fault of the English language and the way it handles personal pronouns. It was never designed with this sort of discussion in mind. If the acceptance of Many Worlds becomes common, and I think it's only a matter of time before it does, then the English language is going to need a major overhaul in the way it handles pronouns, especially personal pronouns. That's why I kept talking about Mr. You when I wanted to be specific, using a personal pronoun would be ridiculous and I couldn't use John K Clark because they all have an equal right to call themselves John K Clark.* *John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis>* enq > > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
