Hold on my neighbour owns a horse, I’ll go and ask him…
Edit, I asked but he just kinda stared at me then started eating hay
Your neighbor has a strange diet.
you got that right. pronoun antecedent issues
I wonder if some languages have a way to avoid it. Maybe different pronouns for the subject and object?
Not knowing anything, I would guess some languages just don’t have pronouns or our equivalent

None of us considered the fact I said “neigh-bour”
🤔
Oh man, I missed that! Shame on me.
If pronouns didn’t exist we would have to invent them.

You should have expected that of course. No one can talk to a horse.
only donkeys can articulate complaints to their owners. it is in the bible, which has to be true or civilization would be pointless. /s
I guess your neighbor isn’t Mr. Ed.
