Are my dots annoying?

So are you going to use my correct pronouns which have been used as singular since the 1300s or no?

OOH Not so! The plural form for just one individual is brand new.

OK There it is. I think that they do that! They seem to be downplaying their intelligence.

Like a split personality. Right?

Thank you

Not funny! The truth is never funny. Right?

LOL I do not know how to make singular plural.

Like my mind, the meaning of "they" has been expanded.

It's not been used as a singular pronoun until very recently.
Not sure why that was adopted instead a neutral singular word like das. Works better and makes more sense to me.

As far as I know, from those I have debated and seen these are faulty understandings of grammar. Like some poem about men marching off to war that uses they to refer to this group, though some of the pro-singular-they crowd misread this to be singular.
And the English we know today is not the English they spoke and knew in the 1300s.

"They" is the new standard.
I wanted "zq*3hr" but it's too hard to pronounce.

That's beautiful.
