Merriam-Webster Officially Recognizes<br />‘They’ as Singular Pronoun<br /> While adding 553 new words to its online dictionary,<br />Merriam-Webster recognized “they” as <br />a singular, non-binary pronoun. This decision holds significant meaning<br />for the non-binary community, as Merriam-Webster<br />is the oldest dictionary publisher in America. The use of “they” as a singular pronoun has<br />often been met with heavy criticism by those<br />who claim it isn’t “grammatically correct.” However, according to Merriam-Webster, the use of “they”<br />as a singular pronoun dates back to the late 1300s.
