Singular they may be less distracting than Spivak, much as I like the latter.
I use singular “they” sometimes, although I find it makes many sentences awkward, especially if I’m also talking about some plural items or persons.
Fair enough—I only mentioned it because I happened to have a period where I avoided singular-they because I thought it was forbidden. I’ll trust your judgement on style.
