			:Actually, ''they'' CAN be used as a singular pronoun. See [http://motivatedgrammar.wordpress.com/2009/09/10/singular-they-and-the-many-reasons-why-its-correct/ Singular "they" and the many reasons why it's correct]. I know several authorities continuously say you need to avoid it, but there's no reason really. It's funny that you even complain that "English sucks" because there's no gender-neutral singular pronoun, but if such a pronoun does evolve, you still don't accept it... Language changes. {{User:Time Q/sig}} 08:41, 5 June 2010 (EDT)
