    Yep, sorry. Still training my 20th century mindset for the 21st century. Teaching old dogs new tricks and all that, but I’m trying.

    I hate using ‘they’ though, because it always signals “more than one” to me, plural, when I’m talking about a specific singular person.

      “They” has always been an indirect pronoun.

        Not really in daily usage though. It’s a recent thing.
