~~Which is why we use plural for singular second person, obviously~~

E: I am not gonna continue this prescriptivist argument any further. There are certainly cases where "they is" is correct, but that does not discount the singular "they are". This is my stance and remains my stance. You believe whatever you want, have a nice day.

Yeah? The pronoun is what causes it to be plural. This is how the grammar works. I don't understand what your argument is here.

Transcription: Image of a tweet by pbsnews posted July 11th, 2025. The tweet reads "A State Department employee shared with PBS news an image from inside the department". The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words: 'colleagues, if you remain, RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold.'" Attached to the tweet is an image, that contains aformentioned piece of paper, taped to a bathroom mirror. The bathroom stalls are visible in its reflection.

It is not that deep, really. It is almost impossible to understand on a first watchthrough because all context for what is happening is only given towards the very end, so it just looks like a mess. On second watch it should be more understandable, but if you did not enjoy it the first time you wouldn't the second time either, and you don't really lose much by not doing it. Just watch a video essay about dissociative disorder in media or something if you want to watch something with meaning.

So you would say that when referencing a singular specific person of undeterminate gender in the third person we should use is? Because I am quite sure that, if that has ever been correct at all, it certainly isn't now. As per merriam webster: A student was found with a knife and a BB gun in their backpack Monday, district spokeswoman Renee Murphy confirmed. The student, whose name has not been released, will be disciplined according to district policies, Murphy said. They also face charges from outside law enforcement, she said.— Olivia Krauth

E: also, "Each member [of the women's touch football team] found something they could improve on in the future."

Dalby (Queensland) Herald (Nexis) 21 October 16, 2014 (as quoted in the oxford english dictionary)

Contradicts you as well unless you'd like to argue that "each man are fighting for himself" is correct.

You might want to work on your grammar, my friend.

'Tis meet that some more audience than a mother, since nature makes them partial, should o'erhear the speech."— Shakespeare, Hamlet (1599);

Caesar: "No, Cleopatra. No man goes to battle to be killed." Cleopatra: "But they do get killed" —Shaw, Caesar and Cleopatra (1901);

In an 1881 letter, Emily Dickinson wrote "Almost anyone under the circumstances would have doubted if [the letter] were theirs, or indeed if they were themself."

Anarchism wants to do away with salaries altogether in most cases. Anarchism is about increasing freedom, meaning the ability for an individual to take the actions they want to take. A part of this is ensuring no person is dying of starvation/living on the street/etc.
