Several centuries ago the objective plural you drove the nominative and objective singulars thou and thee and the nominative plural ye out of general use. It appears to have happened for social reasons, not linguistic reasons. They, their, them have been used continuously for six centuries, and have been disparaged in such use for about two centuries.|—Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary of English Usage, 1994}}In linguistics and grammar, a '''pronoun''' (abbreviated '''pro''') is a word that substitutes for a noun or noun phrase. For transgender, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming people, choosing a preferred pronoun may be a very part of gender presentation.
The adjective associated with "pronoun" is "'''pronominal'''". A pronominal is also a word or phrase that acts as a pronoun. For example, in ''That's not the one I need'', the phrase ''the one'' is a pronominal.
