Comment on The singular they is actually such a natural part of the English language, the people complaining about it almost certainly use it without noticing

Is normally unknown due to not knowing the person though. Using “they” with someone known to you feels rude. As if you’re saying “I don’t include Grace in my circle, so I use “they” to keep them distant”.

It really sticks in the throat.
