On Our Desperate, 250-Year-Long Search for a Gender-Neutral Pronoun
@SP: You've got that wrong. ye was nominative, you was accusative (same relationship as thee and thou, you can see it in the spelling). What happened first was that the difference between ye and you disappeared, and then the difference between you and thee/thou- it's a two stage collapse.
There's nothing wrong at all with singular they. We would have changed to it centuries ago, if not for grammar purists trying to imitate Latin. It's the same idiots who made rules against split infinitives and ultimate prepositions. It's a Germanic language, it has messy grammar, deal with it.
