{{NinjaSheik|text=Yes. It's grammatically correct, and it's not out of the ordinary in any way. "Users", "casters", "wielders", etc. They're the words we can use, if the community decides on getting rid of the singular "they", on the wiki. Again, I don't see the problem of using singular "they" or "their". I was taught that was how it was supposed to be, and I've seen other wikis using them, too. I will consent to either decisions.}} | |||
