Makes sense. But then we’re getting the standard that tries to define everything

The alternative would be

More reasonable, if you ask me. At least I came to value modularity in programming, maybe with standards it doesn’t work as good, but I don’t see why

I don’t quite understand your point, how can a pronoun denote that one is ‘somewhere in between male and female’ or even express more complex state as in your example? The idea looks impossible to implement to me, an example would definitely help

That’s maybe the most helpful argument I read here, I think I should reconsider what neopronouns are about.

Because it’s inhumane and psychopathic, maybe?

Almost nowhere but America exists /s

Reasonable and viable ≠ RFC compliant

This quote summarises my views:

There is some danger that common usage and widespread sloppy coding will establish a de facto standard for e-mail addresses that is more restrictive than the recorded formal standard.

There are many regexes that validate email, and they usually aren’t compliant with the RFC, there are some details in the very old answer on SO. So, better not validate and just send a confirmation, than restrict and lock people out, imo
