'''Neopronouns''' are any set of singular third-person [[pronouns]] that are not officially recognized in the language they are used in,

Some people prefer using neopronouns as an alternative gender neutral pronoun set. This can be because they want to avoid singular "they," being confused with plural "they," because neopronouns express something about them or their gender (like [[Xenogender|xenogenders]]), or because they feel more comfortable using neopronouns over any of the standard pronoun options.

Line 89:
There are several very similar sets of pronouns with the nominative form ''e'' which have been independently proposed over the last hundred years. The earliest known example may be created in 1890 by James Rogers of Crestview, Florida.<ref name=":1">http://www.english.illinois.edu/-people-/faculty/debaron/essays/epicene.htm</ref><ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20070310130020/http://aetherlumina.com/gnp/listing.html</ref> It was made in response to the ''thon'' set, and was derived from the ''he'' and ''them'' pronoun sets. This version does not have a recorded predicative possessive or reflexive form.
In 1977, a version in which all forms starts with capital letters was independently created by psychologist Donald G. MacKay of the University of California at Los Angeles. In 1989 an identical version it was independently created by Victor J. Stone, Professor of Law.
