  • In all fairness, they read out the part of the textbook that went over it. This was also the same paragraph that explained they can be used as well as the difference between you singular and the royal you.

    That being said I'm sure we were both sarcastic in our prior responses but I'm attempting to show that I'm not pulling this out of my ass and I'm relying on a source of truth.

  • My point was merely to show the difference between what is grammatically ok vs what is societally ok.

    In time, I imagine English grammar will continue to change with the language and it will take on a definition that indicates something nonsentient.

  • All I'm saying is according to English grammatical rules it's a perfectly valid method of referring to a singular person when gender is unknown.

    Now according to societal politeness rules on the other hand, it's rude as fuck.
