    All non-proper objects will henceforth be known as MEEP, embrace the MEEP, extinguish the he/she/him/her/it/they/them/my/mine/their/theirs/our/ours/your/yours/we/yall/yalls.

    Watch how well it works.

    “”“Meep went to the park and meep enjoyed some toast. Afterwards, Alex took meep bread to feed the ducks. Meep enjoyed feeding the ducks. Meep were thinking of getting some ducks of meep meep, but that’s a story meep will tell later.”“”
