Original Note:
The singular ‘they’ has been seen in usage since 1375 according to the Oxford Dictionary. The use of the singular they is not just acceptable, but respectful. The Op might have done well to pay attention during their grammar classes. https://www.scu.edu/media/offices/provost/writing-center/resources/Tips-Singular-Pronoun-They.pdf https://www.thesaurus.com/e/grammar/they-is-a-singular-pronoun/
