[QUOTE=only_human;418938]Overall I'm glad this is reaching acceptance. "They is" is going to need to be avoided for a while; it hits the ear a bit hard.
[I]You[/I] hasn't been a problem for quite a long time.
When learning foreign languages, oftentimes I would like "y'all" to be an acceptable (no stigma) general-use plural because it gets unwieldy for the English translations to indicate the foreign equivalent.[/QUOTE]

I think "they is coming" is still wrong. You can just now use "they are coming"
in referring to a single person.

You are correct. That matches some other languages and is much more pleasant to the ear. I realised after I wrote, that the verb should stay in traditional plural form even for singular usage.

Can we now return to using [I]man[/I] independently of sex of referent? If it is necessary to distinguish, then [I]werman[/I] and [I]wyfman[/I] can be brought back into common use.

Even perceived as permissible persiflage, it precludes profusely prolux personalized pronoun proliferation.
