*cis voice* idk like, I feel like using they for a singular person just brings out my sudden and previously nonexistent strict adherance to prescriptive linguistics but maybe it’s just me
My roommate the linguistics major has decided that the singular ‘they’ is her hill to die on. She’s started yelling “HAVE YOU EMBRACED THE SINGULAR ‘THEY’ AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR” and honestly I think it’s my favorite development of the school year. Also, fun fact, there is no grammatical rule saying that ‘they’ is only for the plural, so fuck the man and live your life.
