Don’t kid yourself. You’re joking, I hope. It is sad. The concept of antecedent agreement, and indeed of prescriptive rules for grammar, are about 3 generations vanished.
No, this “they” is gender fluidization and self-absorbed avoidance of the dreadful and dreaded “he” or “she”.
Good thing English plural pronouns are neuter.
I bet the existence of this poor 11-year kid is the pride and joy of their (sic) Mom’s social set, ensuring Mom gets maximum woke points. Which as we know, is the point of child-rearing.
Wow, thank you, I never thought the old lady teacher who always stated that grammar was important prophecy, would come true.
“The concept of antecedent agreement, and indeed of prescriptive rules for grammar, are about 3 generations vanished.”
I looked over an English book about eight years or so ago, and pronoun/antecedent agreement was there.
I also notice that it still appears in any recently written work.
However, grammar has been out of fashion for at least twenty years. That means that in another twenty years, people won’t be able to communicate with the written word.
