Add 'yo' pronoun

[jackwillis]

Hello:

This pull request adds the gender-neutral pronoun ‘yo’ to the pronoun.is catalog.

An overview of the pronoun ‘yo’ is available in the NPR article, “‘Yo’! Baltimore Kids Create a Pronoun.“

In 2007, E. Stotko and M. Troyer published the study, “A New Gender-Neutral Pronoun in Baltimore Maryland.” They recorded the use of ‘yo’ among 8th- and 10th-graders in Baltimore, U.S. schools, and noted its use in Milwaukee, U.S. A summary of their results are available in the open-access article, “Give us a Gender Neutral Pronoun, Yo!” by E. Elrod.

Stotko and Troyer only recorded the use of ‘yo’ as subject and object pronouns. Since pronoun.is reports possessive determiners, possessive pronouns, and reflexive pronouns, as well, I extrapolated ‘yo’ to yo/yo/yos/yos/yosself. I used ‘yosself’ instead of ‘yoself,’ which is an eye dialect spelling of ‘yourself.’

While some have objected to the promotion of ‘yo,’ according to J. Janke, I feel that ‘yo’ is an appropriate addition to pronoun.is.

Another option is yo/yo/yo's/yo's/yo'sself.
