wouldn't you agree?
- willcipriano 5y agoThe upvote button is fine if all you want to say is "great point"
- oauea 5y agoor even just "they"

- ska 5y agoYou aren't going to have a whole lot of company. All of the major style guides have given it the nod because they are practical. It's a weakness in English, lacking a unique indefinite pronoun - so we're probably stuck with "they" unless a neologism sticks.

- fernandotakai 5y agoi have so much trouble with they as singular because ESL + romantic language with no genderless pronoun. i always call users "he" because user is, by default, male in my native language.
