        Read Moby dick it has sentences as long as half a page with 5-8 commas, 3-4 semi colons, and few real colons.

          A roman senator is running late to an important senate meeting. He arrives 15 minutes late and enters to see each seat filled, with the exception of his own, and Cicero standing in the middle of the room giving a speech.

          He manages to stealthily make his way to his seat without causing too much of a commotion and leans over to the senator next to him, asking in a hushed tone, “Hey, what’s Cicero talking about?”

          The other senator simply shrugs and whispers back, “I don’t know, he hasn’t gotten to the verb yet”

        Ah the USA constitution. In the german one, its an article as the first word, excluding numbers and symbols. “DIE Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar.” But technically germany has no constitution but only a basic law

          Yeah sorry, this meme struck me as very steeped in current American politics (not sure if this same nonsense is happening elsewhere) so I didn’t think about other constitutions.

    If you don’t want to bother with individualized pronoun choices, just don’t. It’s that simple. But if your problem is you don’t want them to exist in the world, well that’s a lot more complicated.

    All down to bigotry of course. For fun, try earnestly writing in absence of pronouns. Perhaps a bit more challenging than expected!
