hey y'all i have a request for you. instead of using he/she when not knowing the gender of the person you're referring to, can we use they? like in the student handbook at school it says, "if he/she did_____" instead of that can we say "if they did_______"

yea, but people sometimes don't even use they in speech and simply say "he/she" and it sounds so improper. people just forget that the word they exist for some reason.

yea, here we were never really taught that in school. especially considering everyone just uses he/she in writing most of the time.
