Can't get enough of that singular "they"

I was interviewed by the Texas Standard on the singular they issue, and you can listen, too. Click on the link for yesterday's program; my segment falls about thirty-one minutes in.

It's possible that singular they may also crop up during the panel discussion on "English: The Good, the Bad, and the Awkward" at the Editing Goes Global conference of the Editors' Association of Canada / Association Canadienne des Reviseurs in a couple of weeks. I'll be on that panel, and also conducting a session on dealing with inept and misguided metaphors

If you aren't going to be in Toronto June 12-14, I will be presenting a version of the metaphor workshop during an audio conference for Copyediting.com on June 22. Details to follow.
