For instance, I’m a guy, so my pronouns are ‘He/Him’. This notation makes no sense whatsoever. If the nominative case of my pronoun is ‘He’, then the accusative case will obviously be ‘Him’.
The ‘Nominative/Accusative’ notation is completely redundant, unless a person specifically uses different genders for different grammatical cases, in which case the notation wouldn’t work anyway, since it doesn’t entail the genitive case.
The second, most important reason why this notation is incredibly stupid is that it somehow changes when people use multiple pronouns. If a person uses the pronouns ’She/They’ then the ‘They’ is not the accusative form of ‘She’, but rather an alternative nominative pronoun. In this case, we can reasonably infer that the accusative cases will be ‘Her’ and ‘Them’ respectively.
Since we can evidently leave out the accusative for people who go by multiple pronouns, why can’t we do the same for people who only go by one? The current notation is nonsensical and inconsistent.
TL;DR: We should just use ‘He’ instead of ‘He/Him’ and leave the ‘Slash notation’ for people who use multiple pronouns to make pronoun notation more consistent.
