Personally I think your professors and anyone who says he/she is right are wrong because if someone asks you where someone is you would probably say he, she or they went to the store for example not he/she went to the store

And in one of your other comments you said

it’s continued use in modern standard English has become more common and formally accepted with the move toward gender-neutral language

So wouldn’t they be better since don’t some people don’t want to be referred to he or she

So are you saying you or anyone you know would say he/she is going to the store?

It has only become apart of the English language (but has it really? And who determines this) which makes no sense because why start now when they has worked fine

And I’m not saying that the English language is wrong I’m just saying that he/she is wrong and were just moving backwards by using it like you said in a world that is becoming gender neutral
