Singular "they"

Actually, according to Webster's Dictionary, "they" is indeed an acceptable singular pronoun for gender-ambiguous or -neutral situations. Just letting you know. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 21:49, April 29, 2021 (EDT)

Incorrect Usage

This is a subversion of the word’s meaning; “they” is plural, and any use of the word outside a plural sense is strictly improper. 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.

We've done this long before that was a thing. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 01:54, April 30, 2021 (EDT)
We'll use singular "they", end of story, regardless of insinuations of "dangerous political agendas". BabyLuigiFire.pngRay Trace(T|C) 02:45, April 30, 2021 (EDT)
