I think you may be being a tad parochial again. I can think of plenty of English vernaculars that treat singular "they" as perfectly appropriate. I don't like it personally, but I've only ever thought of RP (in my British parochialism) as trying to suppress it with any serious effort. -- Rhodri James *-* Kynesim Ltd
