[…] This does not, of course, mean that the Peeververein will also melt away or lack outlets.
ref: 2012 June 5, John E. McIntyre, “Unmourned: The Queen's English Society”, in The Baltimore Sun, Baltimore, M.D.: Tribune Publishing, →ISSN, →OCLC, archived from the original on 22 Jun 2021:

He simultaneously dismisses appeals to historical practice used in defense of the singular "they" yet wields historical use against uptight peeververein, as with the verb "enthuse". But neither is English consistent.
