Well, I guess you've chosen the path of not knowing what a pronoun is, since all of the examples you've given use chat as a noun. Good luck with that; I don't think we can have a productive conversation without shared meanings of words, so I'll bow out.

No one's getting particularly heated, we're just saying that someone who spews obvious nonsense in an area of supposed expertise probably shouldn't be trusted about other things.

Well chat, since this guy has bowed out, let me just say: I’ve been working with this description, per wikipedia:

In linguistics and grammar, a pronoun is a word or a group of words that one may substitute for a noun or noun phrase.

Yeah obviously chat is going to appear as a noun in all those sentences, because it is functioning as a noun. It is sometimes a pronoun. You could just swap out “chat” in any of my guy’s statements with any pronoun and hey now there are no pronouns. We’re free!

And uh yeah flowery is clearly erupting. Just absolutely malding over some tiktoker because he said some stuff and flowery didn’t like the tone of his voice. Mad cos he’s stylin on you
