Funny, English is also my second language but in my first language 'she' and plural 'they' are the same word, only distinguished by the verb, so it never seemed that weird to me.

Interesting. What's your first language?

[–] SolarNialamide@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Dutch. It's ze/zij for both singular female and plural they.
