Anonymous asked: How does one pronounce sie/hir? I think in sound so I need that to avoid mispronouning you mentally

Sie = see

Hir = hear

Hirs = hears

Hirself = hearself

At least, that’s how I’ve always heard it pronounced.  I grew up on Lost Souls MUD where one of the character types gave these pronouns but didn’t tell how to pronounce them, so I had to guess until I found it written out myself.  I think there are alternate pronunciations, but these are the ones I use personally and that I have programmed my speech synthesizer to use.

(One good thing about being nonverbal is that you can literally set pronunciations in a pronunciation editor and then forget about them.)

As always, if you can’t use these pronouns, either in print or out loud, I will not hold it against you.
