MV|>>>> A good friend and "they"? ;-)

 RC>>> They is correct English.  If you would prefer, "she."

 PS>> 'A good friend' singular

 PS>> 'they' plural

 MM> 'they' is also acceptable as a 'neutral' gender when 'it' is not.

   Isn't it somewhat of a problem, not to have a central authority, that
can tell y'all how to properly use your language?  ;)
