#27: Maybe Read Your Tweet Again
Here is a strange and vehement text that is about grammar but which is not nearly as informed by grammar rules as it should be. Although, to be fair, I’m an English nerd who thinks every conversation would be much better with more grammar rules in it, so maybe I’m biased here.

Here’s the thing about singular they: it’s used literally all the time. It’s super useful when you don’t know the gender of the person that you are speaking about, but writing “he or she” every time you need to refer to them is exhausting. Their usefulness is made clear by this tweet, where the writer actually used the very singular they that she was complaining about.
