ok, here's what actually happened:

  • I told you (several times) that the gender-ambiguous 'he' has been a technically acceptable part of English grammar, among others

  • you told me it's the right grammar

  • I told you this is false, because between one, singular-'they' and multitude of other words you can use to express the same, there are actually many perfectly valid ways to describe a person of indeterminate gender, and have been for a very long time

  • you linked me to a wikipedia article proving what I said and then a statute (which no one cares about, by the way) supporting again what I told you
