Linguist John McWhorter traces the history and changing behavior of English pronouns, using humor, popular culture, and examples from languages around the world. He examines familiar debates about singular they, formal grammar rules, gender, usage, and the way small words become tied to identity and social order. Pronoun Trouble treats language as a living system rather than a fixed code, showing how I, you, he, she, it, we, and they developed their present forms.
