    it genuinely causes confusion though, someone told me “they” (a different person), were going to be there early and I was like “they’re all going to come early?!”

      ‘You’ has a similar ambiguity, being a plural word originally, but most people muddle through that.

      I do think we should bring back thee/thy/thou as singular, but whatever.
