KallehWord of the Year
They is the Miriam Webster word of the year, with a 313% increase in lookups. The spike seems to be due to nonbinary genders. Also, it has become more acceptable to use
they as a non-plural pronoun.
Other words with a spike in lookups include:

the!
The??? Why does
the have more lookups?
