(ed: entered verbatim): This is pretty widly used and accepted in the US; I'm not sure if it is in other English- speaking countries, so I shall assume that it is exclusive to America.. Since the unisex pronoun in English is the same as the male pronoun (he, him, his), one can get confused very quickly when referring to someone whose gender you do not know. Such as making a reference to someone in the car ahead of you. "What's his problem?" Or when referring to an anonymous person. "So, who is she?" It is too lengthy to say "he or she, him or her, etc." And the gender is unknown, so it would presumptuous to make a decision on the gender. And since it's not widly known that the male pronoun is also considered a universal pronoun, people would think you presumptuous when saying "he." So people will use the plural pronoun (they, them, theirs) in place. It is not correct grammar, because it is not a group of people to whom you're referring - it's a single person. But since they is genderless, it is commonly used in place of a gender specific pronoun, and except in the grammar classes, is generally accepted., This may just be grammar nit-picking, but I thought it perhaps to be considered slangish.
