Good idea. Sometimes improper usage gives us a way out of a sticky situation. This is one of those times.

The Singular "They". "He" has died and gone to the flames of patriarchal hell. The pronoun "he," I mean. But if we accept that "he" is no longer valid as a singular, genderless pronoun, what alternatives exist? I propose the oft-chastised singular usage of "they" as the easiest and most effective replacement for the genderless "he." [kuro5hin.org]
