"Singular they", as used by authors from Shakespeare onwards, is things like "they see fit" and "they merge a patch". It's simply the same pattern as "singular you"; or art thou one of the people who insisteth that "you" must be reserved for the plural form, and who joketh about "you sees fit" and "you merges a patch"?

Thou speakest wisely. But prithee tell, surely thou wantedst to say "thou insistest" or "thou jokest"?
I joke / thou jokest / he joketh, et ceterea...
