With a group of young people last night, the conversation ran to describing what another person had done:
YP: "So they were walking..'
Me: "How many were there?"
YP: "Just one."
Me: "Oh."
Later...
YP: "Then they went and did ..."
Me {to 2ndYP next to me}: "Did more show up?"
2ndYP: "No, just the one."
Me: "Oh."
😆

Most people I know try to avoid them like the plague.

Thank God they lost.
@shavixmir saidThey were poking fun at one guy, call him Joe, who had never heard of Stalin or Mao. He protested, "We never covered them in history class!" One, about 25, turns to me and says, "Can you imagine? Joe was born 7 years after 9/11!"

I'm like, "I watched the first moon landing live." 😆
@spruce112358 said"They" is now being used as a gender neutral third person pronoun.

@AThousandYoung saidOne young man routinely refers to another young man as 'girl!' As in, 'Girl, don't EVEN go there!'
"They" is now being used as a gender neutral third person pronoun.
The second young man seems to take it in stride.
'They' have not tried that on me. 😆

@AThousandYoung saidIt's a fad that will die out shortly. Historians will look back and wonder WTF was wrong with the people that tried to get it going.
