I’ve always known this subconsciously (since I can speak English), but I’ve never dived into grammar, and I’ve never realized how frustrating this is.
The pronoun “his” does double duty:
- Possessive adjective - “His dog is here”
- Possessive pronoun - “That book is his”
The pronoun “her” also does double duty, but in a different way:
- Possessive adjective - “Her dog is here”
- Object pronoun - “I saw her”
The male object pronoun is “him” - “I saw him”. The female posessive pronoun is “hers” - “That book is hers”
- Possessive adjective - His/Her
- Possessive pronoun - His/Hers
- Object pronoun - Him/Her
Why is this not symmetrical. This is absolutely infuriating to me

(wait until you learn about the German Artikels… there are more than twenty different Artikels based on gender, case, number of the subject and if the subject is definitive or not…)
English uses an s at the end of the subject to signal possessivenes, but when the word (or the name) itself ends with an s letter, they just drop one of the s-es.
So the possesive pronoun instead of his’s it is just his. but her’s became hers.
Why the accusatice male pronoun has his own data, I have no clue…

I still find it really funny that I got a DM that was like “we’re banning your account btw” as if I could even read said DM while I was banned.

I feel a more fundamental problem with English in comparison to others is pronounciation norms

From an external view, Elden Ring discourse seems to be, “Wow, can you really say you ‘beat’ Elden Ring if you used weapons? They’re overpowered and make the game trivial and for babies. You have to beat it with just your fists to punch the bosses.”
