I agree with Greg, *they* has become the dominant gender neutral pronoun in English. I prefer *they* over his/her as the latter is difficult to parse and makes for awkward reading. Also, as Greg mentions, there is historical precedent for the singular form of *they*.[1] [1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_they
