Has that happened? It seems pretty well established that singular "they" is grammatical english, and if someone said otherwise, they may have been talking about a special ungrammatical use of "they" (there may be some cases where "he" or "she" is correct and "they" isn't, but I can't think of many off the top of my head)
I don't feel like digging through links to find examples, and I accept that me repeating "Yes, it happens" is not actually additional evidence, so I won't be offended if you remain skeptical.
That said: yes, it happens.
Though I suppose it's possible that they meant a special ungrammatical use and I misunderstood them to mean the singular "they" in general.
