indeterminate gender

I like the implication of the pronoun on this mailing.

"Our next president will face many challenges and difficult decisions. But they will also inherit our nation's proud legacy of helping those in need."

I think they had no other good choice, what with Hillary running...otherwise it becomes "But he or she" which was what we all said back in the day but it really was much more awkward and bad-looking/bad-reading than to just say "they" (in which society finally comes around to pronouns I've always preferred for completely non-gender-related reasons...yay).
