It'll catch on.

Has anyone else noticed that when Facebook is unaware of a person's gender,
it uses their as a
third person singular neuter possessive pronoun?!?!?!

I know, right? I just barely noticed, and it blew my mind!!

So, just wanted to say, Thanks, Facebook, for contributing to the dissemination of this usage and securing its advance into acceptable, everyday speech. I'm a fan!
