Hmmm...seems too ambiguous - gotta use standard syntax, hold up...

^(s|t)?hey?(?!m)$
^t?h(e|i)(m|r)$
^t?h(e|i){1,2}r?s$

Much better.

You’re not necessarily wrong for it. The source material is nonsense to begin with, so who’s to say what the right test cases are?

Both himer and therm are valid pronouns with how that is written lol.

The operation order here is extremely easy, because the only operator here is multiplication.

(S)T(HE)Y = THEYS

I fuck with theys ngl

future where singular they becomes more common than plural they in English, so people append -s to they to distinguish it (like what's happening in many dialects, such as mine, with yous/youse)

As a former Texan, I can confidently say that y'all are alright and I'd love to see that future.

As a They, I can confidently ask "How you doin'?" =3

So then in relation to you, the really tall building in Seattle is....?

Aren't the optional parts supposed to be in the parentheses? Like the portions you know are going into the pronoun should not be seperated from the text. So it'd be (s)(t)he(y) I think.

The one thing i will agree with some "they" haters on is that it can be quite confusing that it's the same as the plural pronoun, we really need one of them to be different.

great, unfortunately looks like the name of an alien so no one is going to seriously use that.

i think probably the most realistic thing is to make the plural be something like "theyse/themse", it's a little awkward but i wouldn't feel dumb saying it in normal conversation since it just sounds slang-y
