"he or she" or "they"?
Post Body
Hello, my question is related to the next phrase:
Autonomy does not imply any limitation; thus, the person can wish and decide anything that he or sheconsiders necessary.
Instead of using "the person" again so close to the first one, I used "he or she", which I think is, at least, is not wrong. However, when I went to write this text in Grammarly it suggested changing "he or she" for "they". Is it appropriate to use "they" in this sentence? What would be the best alternative?Â
Thank you
