"They" don't exist. The whole argument started between just two of us.

English does not have a neuter pronoun. I was using "they" in the common
colloquial usage to avoid having to either make a gender assumption, use
the cumbersome "he/she" or the twee "s/he". I will endeavour to be far
more precise in my use of language should I ever be moved in the future

I read your message as an implication that I was feeding my bay to a
