Honest question from a clueless cis-person: is they/he different than he/they? Usually I see it written as the latter, so now I’m wondering if there is a difference or just preference, or something else?

The Onion@midwest.social•Conservative Man Proudly Frightened Of EverythingEnglish
0·9 months agoMy conservative mother-in-law was concerned about homeless migrants stealing things from their home. They live in a gated community with 24-hour security at the gate. I mean come on. It’s not an exaggeration to say that they fear everything. It’s absurd.

Maybe… I find that vacuum cleaners fling bits around as much as they suck stuff up. On hard floors at least.
The best IMO is to use a broom up til this point and then use a handheld vacuum (I’m old enough to call them dust busters) to get the last little bits. Do I have the patience to do that every time though? Heck no.
