*nod* yes, I understand. My first impulse was that "they" would be more awkward than other alternatives, but I suppose using "it" might have unwanted connotations (it seems to me it's a bit dehumanizing). I have also been searching for a non gender specific pronoun for general use, and if ya'll are going to use "they," then I'm somewhat inclined to start using "they" as well.
