they or a reader?
A reader
IF YOU LIKE IT I CAN GIVE IT TO YOU
why? keep it.
if it's a reader, why is it "they"?
An astute reader should be willing to weigh everything **they** read...
Read up 'singular they' on Wiki, it seems to be quite a topic of debate around.
thank you, Ooneykcall
As @sundown has pointed out, if the desire is to keep "they” gender-neutral, one way the sentence can be fixed without violating the norms of English grammar is to change the main subject to the plural:
Astute readers should be willing to weigh everything they read, including anonymous sources.
