Singular “they” dates back to 1375. It predates singular “you” and it’s old enough to have been spelled with a thorn.Objections to singular “they” have nothing to do with grammar - and everything to do with imposing a rigid, exclusionary gender binary.https://public.oed.com/blog/a-brief-history-of-singular-they/

Some men are so heavily invested in patriarchy that they interpret opposition to it as categorical man-hating.

@grammargirl useful reminder for those under the mistaken impression that social media phenomena don’t affect “IRL” reality.

@grammargirl My eight-year-old uses “brisk” as a verb meaning “to walk rapidly or briskly.” So that one’s my current favorite 😀

@aral Conversely, this is also why I make a point of not using "dumb" as a pejorative.

@davidrevoy “Dear Mr. Bigot-Pleaser,My art as it currently stands is plenty accessible to anyone who isn’t a virulent homophobe. Conservative parents’ discomfort is their problem, not mine, and hopefully their discomfort can get them to stop being homophobes.Cheers,David”
