Complains about nonsense English, provides perfectly normal English sentence as an example. 🤔
Not I were talking about one person...
Do you not read much or something? I've been using both singular and plural "they" my whole life.
I’m well aware, it’s still a perfectly normal English sentence. “They” has been used as a singular for decades, and the recent acceptance of it in formal writing has no bearing on if it is a proper English sentence.
It would have been a proper sentence even 30 years ago.
Centuries, not decades. It predates Shakespeare.
I didn’t know the proper scope so erred on the side of caution. 😜
