> they make the traditional "they" ambiguous and a bit confusing I'd say you're technically right. I have occasionally read to the end of a sentence and thought, "Wait, that doesn't make sense", gone back and found the reason it didn't make sense is because I interpreted "they" as referring to a singular person when the author meant it to refer to a different plural antecedent and presumably hadn't realised that it would be ambiguous for some readers. (Or perhaps the other way around.) It doesn't happen very often, though. I agree that it doesn't seem likely that people will adopt one of the neopronouns, particularly since there's not even a clear favourite amongst the various proposals.
