      “Her” or “their” are both perfectly correct English grammar. “Their” has been gender neutral since before Shakespeare. It can be used to refer to someone or something gendered or not. Learn English before you correct them for something inappropriately.

      Language is about being able to communicate, not whatever trip you’re on.
