At what point, in our evolving language does "socially acceptable" change over to just plain "acceptable." Surely it happens or we would still all be using "thou."

Also I haven't had a teacher red pen the singular use of "they" on me since middle school - not even my upper level college professors when I was getting my English minor. I would say the shift for "they" being acceptable is already well underway, some people just aren't getting with the program.

It depends on what your approach to grammar is- prescriptive or descriptive. Prescriptive says "these are the rules, now follow them" and descriptive says "this is how people are using the language, therefore that must be the rule."

As the people who had "they is plural" drilled into them in school die off, singular "they" will become acceptable. It's the same thing that happened with "who/ whom".

Just as long as fucking "their" doesn't become a substitute for "they're", or your/you're, I'm good.
