anonymous When my friend says her friend is ill but I dont know if it is she or he can I say "I hope they get better soon. You should show enough interest to ask if the friend is a man or a woman.

That would be common in informal English. In formal or more careful English, "singular they" should be avoided where possible, in my opinion. "I hope your friend gets better soon" is a way round it.
