Interesting history. According to that article, using "they," as a singular pronoun was improper from 1745 until 2015. It depends on who you ask of course but had I used singular "they," in a paper, I would have lost a letter grade for each occurrence. My Literature teachers didn't mess around. PS: I enjoyed the use of the old style footnote. We were just getting out of that notation into inline references when I was taught.
