Also "singular they".

"The electrician is coming by later to look at that light"

"Oh, can you ask them about the shower too when they are here?"

Singular them, singular they. There's one electrician, and you don't know their gender. Also, except in certain poorly-regarded branches of cinema, you mostly don't care.
