Dey

Singular for they. As they is now the appropriate term for another human being, no matter their gender/identity. Useful in differentiating between a singular person (dey), and a group of persons (they).

While we were in a group meeting, everyone started coughing and gagging. They were all trying to figure out where the stench was coming from. As I was talking to Kelly, dey told me I smelled like I huffed dog farts.
