i'll start.

-- they always has cool avatars that make you stop scrolling and take notice

-- they is a very skilled and subtle mafia player (e.g. hollywood game)

-- they loves penises and talking about penises, which would otherwise never get mentioned enough

-- made their own celebration day in the calendar, which was clever and amusing

-- good taste in tunes, a wealth of pop culture references, and always ready with a sassy comeback

-- wears their heart on their sleeve, which makes them fun to talk to

also they them isn't necessarily plural...

When you're talking about a hypothetical person who doesn't have a specific gender, how do you refer to them?

The best english example I can think of is "them", but it sounds a bit weird to say.

Appreciation Time: Has one of the best and more memorable usernames, good taste in avatars and probably likes cats, which is always a plus.

i meant grammatically plural, though you'll note i said "they always has" and "they is" and "they loves"

you wait a generation until everyone has had time enough to play around with the language and a set of truly neutral singular pronouns evolves.

The only annoying part of they/them for a single person is switching from "[NAME] is" to "they are" since "[NAME] are" doesn't work well. Otherwise it being grammatically plural isn't really confusing at all.

wait, why?

saying "they is" serves to signal that the plural pronoun is being used as singular pronoun, which i thought was precisely your complaint.

you tell me.
