And what about this now common usage of “they” instead of he/she? As a non-native speaker it always makes me go “who the heck are ‘they”? If it’s OK to offend the grammar to avoid offending people, why not just go all the way and also change the conjugation? “They is” sounds just as jarring but it’s not confusing and with time it will become natural. That said, I also have trouble with plural “you” and there is no fix for that other than the hideous (and sexist) “you guys”.
