Spelling/grammar error on certificate - would you question it?

[swedishmum]

Dd (in reception) came home with a certificate - 1st name spelt incorrectly, plus "Awarded to DD3 for getting on well with their friends".
Am happy to mention the name, but would you mention the she/their bit? Don't want to wind the teacher up, but I do think grammar is important.

[thisisyesterday]

yes, I would.

'their' is taking over from he/she, like it or not. It would be a bit precious to pick up on that. Her name being spelt incorrectly is disappointing. Mention it to the teacher in a pleasant manner for future reference and she/he may offer to correct it.
Is your child bothered? If not, leave it!

I believe that 'their' is an accepted third person, gender-neutral, singular pronoun.

Saying that, if they are printing their own, it's not a big deal to make a version for each sex.

The incorrect name spelling warrants a change.

Im a teacher and would want you to point out the spelling mistake in the name and would be very apologetic but I would think you were being a bit picky about 'their' to be honest.

I'll stick to the spelling mistake then - dd noticed it. They do normally spell her name correctly.
Thanks.
