This is quite confusing at least for a non native like me.. I've always been told 'they' is plural.. It's feels a bit like when megalomaniac people refer to themselves as we. Why not make a new pronoun if no other suitable singular exists?

As awkward as singular they might seem, it's so old that Shakespeare used it.
