I don't like the singular they. My opinion here means far less than that of anyone who takes it as their pronoun. Usage defines language.
@mediapathic have you read this article though https://motivatedgrammar.wordpress.com/2009/09/10/singular-they-and-the-many-reasons-why-its-correct/ …

@chaosprime I have no doubt it's "correct," as are many things up with which I will not put.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@chaosprime more seriously, I do think it's better, it just chafes with my early experience -
@mediapathic basically same here, but that article made me feel a lot better about it by demonstrating that it wasn't an unambiguous thing -
@chaosprime I'll have to give it a real read when not at work, Thanks.
