Weird kid with childhood religious trauma. Overeducated and underemployed. Tinker. Scavenger. Layabout. #awayforward. Sarcastic? Me?
I was thinking I'd use them for buttons. With six even holes the stitching can form most letters and I can spell out rude things.

The first three words are wrong.

There's a psych experiment where people read color words printed in a color different from their meanings. Red is printed in green, green in purple, etm. Read the list. State the colors of the print. People screw up even when it's right in front of them.

You notice that I'm doing my best to follow their wishes? Honestly, I fuck up sometimes and use a gendered pronoun, and then correct myself, and yes, that's a me problem which I'm working on too.

Huh?

The problem is singular/plural disambiguation, and I'm suggesting modifying how we state the second person plural, as we have modified how to state the first person plural in some regions.

Yes. And to talk about people who have said their pronouns are they/them.

So...

Just to be clear, they both want to be called they and I'm following their wishes. I'm really not clear what your complaint is.

If they prefer they, I'm doing my best to use they, but, like replacing thee and thou with you, the language loses precision in the process. Yes, it's a me problem. My AFAB and AMAB neighbors are both "they", and they both don't have an issue with my solution.
