It's been historically used this way for hundreds of years. If I recall correctly, Shakespeare used singular they in some places. Just like "you", context clues are usually sufficient to disambiguate.
- azangru 7y ago> It's been historically used this way for hundreds of years. It's been historically used _occasionally_. Sure neither King James' Bible nor Shakespeare's plays abound in singular they; but there are occasional examples of it in both.
