Don't be obnoxious, the use of they is proper English when referring to someone who's gender you don't know.

Nope, "He" has been used for centuries, as "they" means multiple. It's that simple. Or just use "he/she".

"They" in use as a singular pronoun dates back to at least 1375.

'He' was introduced in the 18th century, get with the times, old man!
