In Reply to: RE: I just am tired of using the same presumed default pronoun. posted by Kal Rubinson on February 13, 2020 at 13:11:14
Though ungrammatical even the conservative JC of the back page of the TLS says it's ok in a discussion of the pronoun issue (Jan.31).

As a gender-neutral singular pronoun, they/them/their goes WAY back before the 18th century pedants who called it ungrammatical.
One of my former English professors (female, btw) proposed the all-inclusive s/he/it.
That's the kind of conversation I was hoping for.
Was the usage you are referring to similar to the French tu/vous?
