## They/Them Pronouns
#### Singular “they” is grammatically correct
* [Grammarly - Mora 18](https://www.grammarly.com/blog/use-the-singular-they/)
* They/Them Pronouns are academically approved
* As of 2019, most big style guides—including the Associated Press, the Chicago Manual of Style, the MLA style manual, and the APA style manual—accept the usage of the singular they.
* [Oxford English Dictionary](https://public.oed.com/blog/a-brief-history-of-singular-they/)
* Traces singular they back to 1375, demonstrating a large historical precedent.
* “They” is grammatically similar to “You,” which “was a plural pronoun that had become singular as well.”
