Hey dummy. I never said "they is" is wrong.
I'm the one arguing for that use. EVERYONE ELSE here decided to shit on me for it. So many people here wanting to argue about grammar that can't even fucking comprehend what they read.
Where did I hurt anyone? You're assigning shit to a vague statement on grammar that I never said it implied. Hair triggers the lot of you.
It's because "they is" is not correct usage, even if it's used as singular, just as "you is" isn't. Saying "they is" makes it sound like you're pointing out that it doesn't work so therefor it must be plural. It's "they are" even if used as singular.
