ALT TEXT:
- Panel 1: A person with the text "Singular 'they'" written on them smiling with open arms.
- Panel 2: "Singular 'They'" beaten up by others who said, "Singular they is ungrammatical. It's too confusing," "How can anyone use plural pronouns for singular," and "Every pronoun should only have one purpose."
- Panel 3: "You" hiding from the mob who was beating "Singular 'They'"
- Panel 4: "German 'Sie'" hiding with even more fear next to "You"
Care to give examples?
No, examples of words that mean two opposite things at the same time, since you apparently said that every single word in existence has always been that way. "Bad" comes to mind, though it's a lot easier to tell from context which meaning it has compared to "literally."
Another non-english example would be the german word "umfahren" which can mean both driving around or over something, depending on context
