Seen on Twitter: "Any English teacher who uses 'they/them' as a singular pronoun should lose their teaching license." (Think about it ... it may take a moment)

@ColinTheMathmo I once did almost exactly this! I wrote a blog post (remember blogs?) about how using they/them for an abstract person, or a concrete person of unknown gender, had a long history, but that using they/them for a concrete person of known binary gender or a person of non-binary gender were both novel. And in the course of the post I used they/them to refer to a concrete person of known binary gender without realising that I was doing so! I decided to leave it in :-)
@ColinTheMathmo come on, this must have been sarcastic! 🤣
@ColinTheMathmo XD
