One could also state the obvious “Using ‘their’ in reference to both the singular and the plural is not accurate, either.”

Exactly. So sick of seeing that particular example of pronoun abuse.

I even had a FReeper arguing with me on a thread not too long ago. He even posted a link for me in support of his position that using “they” and “them” for a singular antecedent is now acceptable.
