Singular they is perfectly grammatical English, despite Strunk and White's claims to the contrary. It's been in use for hundreds of years. Language Log predictably has a lot to say about it (http://languagelog.ldc.upenn.edu/nll/?cat=27).

So says you. Sorry, but I'll believe Strunk and White (along with every English and writing teacher I have ever had) over some anonymous person on the internet, thanks.

English teachers teach you so much that is wrong about language. Most English teachers can't even correctly define a noun. Also learn the difference between prescriptive and descriptive grammar.

Maybe where you are. Which, of course, would explain why you think singular they is proper English.

Why not get off your high horse before you fall off it?

Ah, she already fell off it. Quite some time ago.
