    The only time you would ever need to use someone’s pronouns is when they’re not part of the conversation anyway.

    no? it would be weird to use in a one-on-one conversation, true. but it is fairly common to use the third person pronoun of someone during a group conversation, even while they are there

      I don’t do this, and growing up was taught that it was rude to refer to someone by anything other than their name in a group conversation.
