minus-square@humanspiral@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglish-1•6 months agoThe tenses don’t add precision, IMO. There is a plural them instead of him/her but it sounds the same as the singular him/her. There is a plural you that sounds different, but there is also a polite singular you that is the plural you.
