Acceptable. Maybe not correct, but acceptable, since I wasn't certain about number.

It's used in business all the time. If the uptight perfectionist businessmen are using it, it must be okay.

Dynamics said
Oh yeah, acceptable. But remember that "they" only applies to a group when you're taking the SAT. They like to throw that. For a guy, you're "supposed" to say "He or she" "He or she went to the store."Acceptable socially, but not correct. It's stupid how tests don't allow for the evolution of the English language, but whatever.

So according to Oxford, some people object to it as ungrammatical, but the practice actually dates back to the 16th century.

how did you possibly get protip from poo thatand vice versa

So I guess the creators of the SAT don't like it. But it's still perfectly fine in regards to the history of English.

Revolutionary said
Poo tip.

Dynamics said
Usage terms anyway.

whizzball1 said
reword plz

Dynamics said
In usage terms it is.

If it's fully accepted as a singular pronoun, then it'll be completely grammatically correct too.
