eh.... the "they" is acceptable as a singular pronoun when the gender is not specified--- i forget in what manual i read this. i use it every now and then.

oh and if it's not "official", it should be accepted

one of the great things about the english language is that there's no "academy" attempting to regulate its use, and therefore it can evolve faster.
