"They" used as a pronoun for a person who doesn't identify as "he" or "she". Before the PC police jump all over me - I DO understand that some people don't want to be called "he" or "she" and I don't have a problem with that. I just think we need a new singular word. The plural "they" is confusing to me.
For example, not long ago I heard a news story on NPR's All Things Considered and I thought the reporter was talking about multiple people. Eventually I realized out they were actually talking about just one person who didn't identify as "he" or "she".
