Singular They: The Pronoun That Came in from the Cold

October 1st, 2003 · No Comments

Yet another entry into this cultural skirmish: The Vocabula Review - September 2003 - Singular They: The Pronoun That Came in from the Cold - jjoan ttaber altieri

“[N]ative speakers of English automatically rely on singular they (their, them) as the pronoun of choice.”

I prefer the commentary by another Quaker member of copyediting-l, that people don’t seem to have any problem with singlular “you.”
