    Yeah without the singular they your English is bad. Sucks for non native speakers but it’s how our language works.

      Yeah - that’s probably all true. Most people seem to cope with “you singular” and “you plural” in English but struggle with “they/them singular” and “they/them plural”. I’m not sure why.
