The reason “they” is improperly defined by Webster’s is to accommodate dangerous hyper-political correctness. English does not behold to political agendas; the opposite must be true for us to communicate properly. If we redefine our language to mold to whatever is currently considered “correct,” then we will reach a point where we cannot communicate ideas that contradict the current prevailing narrative, which will annihilate freedom of thought.
