I have an English degree, and I can be a bit obnoxious in correcting people's grammar. I finally had to just say to myself, "I love my family, I love my anbo, and if this is what they want and need, then I will do my best to adjust."
I later read that, according to Wikipedia, the first use of the singular "they" in literature is from the poem Guillaume de Palerme, from 1375. Not sure why, but that made using a little easier for me.
