I've only ever seen xi and xer written as memes. How are they actually pronounced?

Thank you.
And yes, I've never got it. Singular they dates back to Middle English. So I've never understood the feeling of the need to reinvent the wheel.
Of course if someone wanted to go by xi I'd do my best to honour that.

no idea why they exist since they serve the same purpose
I see someone missed school.

Little Johnny is daydreaming in Latin class when the teacher calls on him to conjugate the verb they're discussing. Caught off guard, he whispers to his neighbor "Shoot, what verb are we conjugating?"
"Hell if I know"
Johnny stands up, "Helifino, helifinas, helifinat, helifinamus, helifinatis, helifinant"

Thats kinda cheating no? I can do én, engem, rólam, nekem, tőlem, magam, etc in hungarian. English is a bit strange with pronouns actually compared to other languages from my experience.

Yeah but Latin pronouns are one and the same for every person of a certain gender, you don't need to associate a different set with different people. Way more complex to retain.
