Actually, the genderless pronoun is used properly in this instance. If the subject of the sentence hasn’t been identified as male or female, using “they” is grammatically correct. I found this out while having to use writing standards for term papers in college, way before wokism. Using they to identify oneself is the ridiculous usage.
No thank you. I’ll keep speaking English.
If the have to use “they” it means it was a woman. However, even when they know it’s a man today, the new PC rules demand that the writer use “they.” If seen it used when a person was actually identified with a man’s name. That’s why I am alway suspicious of any use of “they.”
I am well aware that one may find on style sheets and such the plural pronoun “they” used in such a fashion, but it is still regarded in many circles as grammatically incorrect.
This nonsense began with the push to obliterate the practice of defaulting to masculine gender when the subject’s gender is unknown.
