Gravity doesn't have a normal frequency. It takes an event like 2 black holes merging to cause a disruption. By detecting gravity waves we can determine what caused them.

The problem with precrime arrests was that they had stopped the person from committing the crime they were making the arrest for. The true role of the police force was intervention and prevention. Any arrest or punishment was unfair because from that point on they were, in effect, innocent of any crime. Their only guilt was in thinking about performing a criminal act. Thus thought crimes.

Which are not interchangeable, as I already stated.

I thought you saying that Japanese honorifics were not comparable on the basis they are specific and not interchangeable. I was thus arguing that they are comparable since English pronouns have specific, non-interchangeable uses as well.

Kana posted...
It's still a thing, and it's more relevant to a pronoun discussion than honorifics are.

Yes, relevant to demonstrating the point I was already making.

Masculine and feminine aren't part of self-identifying pronouns any more than one's mood or level of hunger is indicated. The individual already knows these things about them self, and it is unnecessary to convey them unless these aspects are the immediate subject of discussion. If people projected a disembodied voice and it was more difficult to recognize who was speaking we night need this. Generally, people can tell who is speaking to them.

He, him, she, her are used by a secondary speaker to describe the recognizable traits of an individual. If one observer visually identifies a specific trait it's likely another observer will agree with the first observer. Thus if one person points and says "look at him". they can both agree that the individual to look at is in that direction and has masculine traits. This helps to identify the person to look at without formally addressing them.

If the first observer knows that the individual to look at has been knighted and has the the family name of Kettle yet the other observer does not posses this information then "look at Sir Kettle" would not be as helpful in identifying the individual. Further if Sir Kettle prefers to be called her and the first observer knows this yet the second observer does not then "look at her" would in fact eliminate Sir Kettle as the person to identify.

Therefore the traits of a pronoun cannot be defined by the individual. They must be defined by the speaker referencing the individual.

When someone asserts a pronoun preference, it's largely irrelevant to how they identify or present or whatever

You misunderstand. I'm not saying the speaker has a pronoun preference. I'm saying that the preference of the individual being spoken to is irrelevant to which pronoun is used by the speaker.

Japanese honorifics are not comparable because they have a specific context (100% of the time) and are not interchangeable.

English pronouns have a specific context (100% of the time) and are not interchangeable.
Say mister to a man.
Say miss to a woman.
Say missus to a married woman.
Say sir to someone who has be knighted.
Say doctor to someone who has an academic degree above master.
We have more words that replace a persons name such as he and him that can be interchanged with mister but the context with which these words are used always remain the same.

a much better place to start would be self-identifying pronouns (boku, watashi, etc). Boku is largely considered a masculine pronoun, watashi is feminine, but they are not rigid.

That's actually a contrast. English doesn't use self-identifying pronouns in that way. I, me, myself are neutral in regard to masculinity or femininity.

you simply correct and move on

That would be wrong. Pronouns have no correlation to how the individual self identifies. Pronouns are based on how others perceive the individual. Similar to the honorifics used in Japanese, pronouns refer to a trait that can be observed by the speaker. Gender identity is not an observable trait.

James Bond doesn't regenerate. He might change actors, but the change in his appearance is either never addressed (most of the changes), or given a one-off joke regarding plastic surgery (Moore, IIRC), or the films are treated as a full reboot of the series (Craig).

I thought it had been acknowledged in the movies that 'James Bond' was a code name that would accompany the designation 007, which would then be reassigned to certain agents as needed.

Gallifreyans are infertile. They reproduce via Genetic Loom.

Then explain how the Doctor has a human mother.

According to theories about the Cartmel Masterplan the show would drop hints about The Doctor being a different figure in Galifreyan history. This figures life would have ended by being Re-Loomed and creating a new individual, The 1st Doctor. The show was cancelled before the plan was fully revealed. It would be that figure who had a human mother.

How is this at all relevant?

mrduckbear posted...
Jasmine and Heather Bouse was the student named to be co-valedictorian at Cleveland High School in 2016 who the district said had "identical grades"

But Jasmine took more AP classes and the district's own rules meant she should have won the title outright

That should be cleared up quite simply by looking at the grades and how the rules were applied in this situation. Is it strictly based on GPA? Does a difference in curriculum matter? Does achievement in certain classes bestow more meritorious value than other classes?

Heather said "We're more progressive than most people see we are. We get along much better than they think we do"
