    Potential solutions:

    • while saying “they”, hold up one or two fingers depending on if the word is singular or plural (also possible in emoji: ☝️/✌️)
    • mutter “singular” or “plural” under your breath before saying “they”
    • replace plural they with “theys” or “thy’all”, à la “yous” or “y’all”
    • pronounce singular they as /θeɪ/ and plural they as /ðeɪ/
