No, “you” can be either singular or plural in English, but sometimes you run into “y’all” or “you guys” used as the “you” plural.
Although with nonbinary folks, the “they/them” isn’t about it being a plural noun, it’s about using a gender neutral pronoun, and the singular “they” has been used that way for a long time
Cool that was my assumption actually but wanted to ask as I really don’t understand the they/them mindset. Aside from like you pointed out when referring to people like “What do they think of this” or “You’d have to ask them”
Iel (neo pronoun roughly equivalent of they them) being “vouvoyer” (formal you or for multiple people) instead of “tutoyer” (informal you for a single person)
Legit question, what about “you” should it be “yous”?

Also yeah I’m southern and say y’all lol
We need to bring “thou” back.
Bring it back but exclusively for insults and rudeness
When you’re getting annoyed at people you can just start thouing them
“i refuse to respect thou’s pronouns so thou’s pronouns are now thou/thee”
But now I am imagining in french.
