I think I found it but I'm not sure. If you topicalize the subject do you
have to use a third person pronoun ie 6.3 TKD. Scarry I might be getting
this. And if so why (other that he says so) would we have to use a third
person pronoun anyways?
Maybe I've got the wrong rule for what we're discussing, please let me know.
