nualaThe main event I've been worried about - Aisling's immunisation - has been canceled. Phew. I have a hard enough time dealing with medical professionals without adding in weirdly stilted language.
I've been thinking the last few days about how this will work. And I've realised while I'm all about singular they when it's a non-specified person, it feels somehow rude to me to use they to refer to someone whose gender is known.
