    I learned English at school and the first time I encountered singular they was when my teacher explained it to us. Sometimes non native speakers are less prescriptive than native speakers

      No, it’s just been a thing forever, and will always be thing. Those teachers, if they ever existed, which I doubt, were just dumb fucks from Dumbfuckistan.
