Everybody knows each other.
(2b) They know each other.
I did. Maybe you didn't since you didn't understand the reference I made to it. Everybody is not referring to one person but a group of people. Hiltz is one person. The article is loaded with errors. Everybody knows one another. They know one another. It is not singular. Hiltz is one person. She is the correct pronoun. Every 5th grade English teacher knows this.
all the gender stuff aside, it seems pretty harsh of adidas to drop her. She did get 2nd at 5th Ave and had some solid races in 2021, def put herself out there for the brand and had some wins. Why the drop?

when athletes don't make olympic teams in their prime it does make sense that they'd be dropped. Things you can be forgiven for early might be scrutinized as you enter your late twenties and certainly your thirties. Unless Nikki moves up in distance I doubt they'd feature much in the 15/8 as new young guns make headway. Plus Adidas signed two exciting new BYUers and Elly "Phant" Henes. At this point, those three have more potential than Nikki.
They is plural while it is singular. The dictionary definition surprised me.
used to identify a person.
"it's me"
predictably, this thread is a dumpster fire
Somehow my cheeky comment was deleted yet all the grossly disrespectful and anti-intellectual comments around using "they" still remain. Probably fits the co-founders' anti-trans narrative, to be honest.
I guess you still need to run fast in order for the gender pandering to be profitable.
What do you say when you're referring to a person whose gender you don't know?
"Hey what do you think of my new haircut?"
"Wow they really ruined your hair lmao"
Idiot.
Does Nikki still train with Mac Fleet? That would explain the decline in performance/getting dropped by Adidas.

You could of course say that, but it would be incorrect grammar. It would be more appropriate to say “That person” instead of “they”. Either way, this does not apply to how Nikki wants to be referred. She is one person, not multiple.
The funniest thing about this thread is envisioning the most woke mod all over it, clicking refresh every 5 seconds, neck veins bulging, eyes bugging, body shaking, sweating, heaving, determined to expunge all traces of humor and reality.

It's not writing a MF prep school MF term paper for Mr. Flaccid's English Literature class, MLA format doesn't apply out in the real world.

Can’t tell if you disagree or agree with me
