Another day has brought with it another ratioing for a hot take served up by CNN:

You've heard of pronouns and the "preferred pronouns" nonsense, but are you familiar with "neopronouns"?

In case nobody heard of that, CNN decided to help out by publishing this doozy:

I wasn't familiar with "neopronouns" and certainly wasn't aware that "foremost experts on neopronouns" existed:

And then there are neopronouns (“new” pronouns), gender-neutral or nonbinary pronouns that are distinct from the common she, he and they. Neopronouns include terms like “xe” and “em,” and some of them even date back several centuries, when they were introduced by writers as a solution for referring to subjects without assuming gender. Now, they’re also commonly used by nonbinary and trans people.

All pronouns indicate identity and can be used to include or exclude people they describe — neopronouns included, said Dennis Baron, one of the foremost experts on neopronouns and their histories and an emeritus professor of English and Linguistics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Neopronouns should be used and respected like any other pronoun, he told CNN.

I'm not sure whether to laugh or roll my eyes -- maybe a little of both.

The story is full of gems like this:

And yet the Left wants YOU to think YOU'RE the crazy one. 

Here's a video that seems to be a fitting way to end this story:

Have a good weekend, everybody!
