I'm not a plural. My Sim isn't a plural. They and them are plural, as in more than one! I do hope this trend doesn't infect the game, as it has society.
Actually, the use of they and them as singular dates back to the 1800s (I think even to the 1300s). It's commonly used. Ex: ”Are you going to call your boss?" "Yeah, I'll call them". I read a very interesting linguistics book that touched upon this subject. :smile:
