Intersexual/gender-neutral pronouns

[James Harbeck]

Just incidentally, I read this in my facebook news feed today: "Kebin
Schwartz updated their profile. They is now looking for friendship, a
relationship and networking."

"They is." Right there, barefaced, on facebook. That's facebook's
syntax, by the way, not my friend Kevin's, so it's appearing in a lot
of people's news feeds.
