One may say that the use of the singular they is not universally accepted, but to state that it's blatantly incorrect ignores the flexibility and ever changing nature of the English language. It's more commonly accepted by speakers of British English - who incidentally adopted the title prefix "Ms" long before those in the colonies.
I suspect the trend to using the singular they will continue despite the best efforts of language police, because it's useful, effective, and serves a purpose. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
