You don't know the definition of singular?
Singular, "they" has not been taught widely to foreign learners (maybe not to native either?). I just recently learned about it myself from LGBT support content despite practicing since childhood, I never heard about it during my English lessons.
So yes indeed, many English speakers don't know about singular they.
Look at their post history and other comments in this thread. That question wasn't being asked in good faith.
I see, though, a little bit of information may help him or other readers.
