What do you think of this?

[SalixIncendium]

Is this a pretty good pronoun, or should this be dropped in favor of that?

This is ok, but that is better.
Unless this is that and or that is this.
Then just reverse it all.

[It Aint Necessarily So]

Is this a pretty good pronoun, or should this be dropped in favor of that?

The idea is to combine this with that.

This is a scene from the TV sitcom Seinfeld in which Elaine and Jerry are discussing reintroducing sex (that) into their platonic relationship (this), worried that sex might ruin the friendship, and establishing rules to prevent that from hurting this.

Incidentally, the word "this" can also function as an adjective (this job) and an adverb (this slow).

 

[MatthewA]

This or that
This or that
This or that
This or that

 

[WalterTrull]

"it" is easier to spell.

 

[beenherebeforeagain]

maybe jit or jat?

 

[Vinayaka]

maybe jit or jat?

or dis or dat?

So you prefer personal pronouns over demonstrative ones…

Yeah, kinda.

 

[SalixIncendium]

Not this, not that.

Neti, neti.

 

[SalixIncendium]

But…but…it’s Thursday.

 

[Quagmire]

This?

This is unacceptable!

This has to stop!

I tell you I won't put up with any more of This!

This is the last straw!

What do you mean by This anyway?


Now That on the other hand, I'm okay with That.

That's fine.

Nothing wrong with That.

Got to expect That.

And That's That

Uh...sure?

At least for the purposes of this thread...

Or maybe these or those?
