gaywrites:

In which one of the best accounts on Twitter, the Merriam-Webster dictionary, writes you a nice limerick defending the singular “their.” 

[IMAGE: A screenshot of a tweet by Merriam-Webster. The text reads: 

If you’re a stickler for grammar, prepare
to be irked by the singular ‘their’
Tho it seems a mistake
The position we take
Is if the word is in use we don’t care

It is accompanied by a link to the Merriam-Webster website, to a page titled “We Made You a Bunch of Usage Limericks.”]
