Using "they" for a singular antecedent is confusing, and I always find
it jarring. I won't make a rule against, but I make a point of never
using that construction. "S?he" avoids the confusion because it is
clearly singular.
I use a different set of gender-neutral singular pronouns, which I
think fit better into English. See
