At least those words are in the dictionary. People who are unfamiliar with
them CAN find out what they mean. If you make up a word people don't have a
chance to understand you. Even with these posts that list all forms of
these new pronouns, I can't always sort out what these four pronouns mean.
(I only have a chance with the ones that sound like "her" or "him", and that
defeats the whole purpose.)
