15*6=90 so I was fairly conservative on my estimate... Which further proves my point that the difference between 30 students total is vastly different than 180 total if we wanted to hit the other end of that average

The way you wrote it makes it seem like you meant in total, not per period was my point. The total number is likely closer to 100 a school year which is vastly different to 15 total.
15-25 kids.....
Like, per period? Cause that numbers low for public schooling
You're thinking of codpieces.
My fav response to that reasoning: all words are made up words. That's how languages work
The suggestions were just that. All it takes is speakers agreeing with a word for the use and to use it to the point where it becomes the standard.
No different than how gruntled has reentered the English language after being lost. It also changed meaning upon return so there's that similarity as well.
Not really that much of a difference honestly. My point still stands. Language is made up. We can use whatever words we want to use to convey the meaning we want as long as the people talking agree with the meaning
May I recommend either duck or dolphin
Eh, language is both fluid and made up. Patterns of sounds or squiggles that we generally agree have specific meaning
Good news: language is made up. Les exists now. It can be used.
Proposal: either smoosh them together (eg: ella / loas) which preserves the historical gendering of the language while creating a non gendered article Or Create a separate non gendered article that can be used
Language is made up by and for the speakers of the language. Rules of grammar are not actually rules but just what the collective speakers generally agree upon.
Read the last part of my comment again. I didn't miss it. If two speakers agree on a new word and its meaning to the point it becomes adopted by a wider population of speakers, guess what, it becomes a standard word. By how you're describing it, dictionaries are the progenitors of language. You have that backwards. Dictionaries are records of the language and what words are being used.
The only languages that do not behave this way are dead languages.
