    Does the reader want to eliminate an entire part of speech? Then good luck trying to understand what the fuck the writer’s email is trying to say.

    Could be fun. I bet ChatGPT could automate it.

      Does the reader want to eliminate an entire part of speech?

      Which one are they going to outlaw next? Verbs? Or Adjectives?

      Exactly… Maybe have a boilerplate disclaimer at the top of each email that does include pronouns, just explaining that the following email has had all pronouns removed so as to comply with the new rule.

        “The following email has had all pronouns removed in compliance with blah blah blah. Readability has unfortunately, but obviously, been significantly reduced. Apologies will be made available at a later date.”
