Singular "they"

Yeah, I use "they" and "their" to refer to an individual. I do this because there is no standard gender-neutral singular pronoun. There needs to be. "He or she" and "he/she" is awkward. "S/he" is unpronounceable. "Ve", "Vir", "Ze", "Ke" etc are not popular enough and cause mental stumbles when reading. Though "purists" freak out, using a singular "they" works for most, and actually has a long history.

In short: You'll get over it.
