Line 156: I am confused over whether the singular they should be used with or without the definite article (some userboxes use it and others without). It might vary with dialect but I am not sure. [[User:Tk420\|Tk420]] ([[User talk:Tk420\|talk]]) 12:56, 12 February 2015 (UTC) :As demonstrated at ''[[singular they]]'', it is not necessary to use the definite article when referring to it. Whilst it is proper to provide an article when using the isolated word ''singular'', it is not necessary in this case because the two words ''singular they'' function as a single term. In particular, your recent changes to various templates did not properly account for the [[use-mention distinction]]. That is, those templates refer to the '''term''', ''singular they'', rather than describing a particular instance of ''the singular'' "they".--[[User:Jeffro77\|<span style='color:#365F91'>'''Jeffro'''</span><span style='color:#FFC000'>''77''</span>]] ([[User talk:Jeffro77\|talk]]) 00:55, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
