Practice

  1. 1
    proverb
    Alternative form of to each his own.

    I'd never paint a room bright orange, but to each their own.

    She likes working late while I start at dawn; to each their own.

    Note

    The same saying with one pronoun changed: their stands where to each his own has his. It is the singular they, pointing back to each without giving it a gender. Both versions carry two meanings. One is a shrug that grants everyone their own tastes, like a bright orange room you would never paint. The other is a sterner claim that everyone should get what they deserve, and context tells them apart.
