Are you worth more than one person? Why should I call you they?
Singular they goes back at least as far as Shakespeare. Also, "you" was originally a plural pronoun.
Cant "you" still be used to mean many people? "do you all" "you guys" etc...
Also, there's a lot of Shakespeare speech that is kind of incomprehensible today.
yeah like thou for the second person singular is pretty odd... wait a second
