It's indeed useful to distinguish singular you from plural you, which is something that most other languages do.
As a non native speaker, I'm sometimes confused and wish to see a distinction between between singular and plural they (they-all?)

You see someone two blocks away doing something unusual and say, "what are they doing?"
It's usually clear from context. How often do you look two blocks away and see a group of unrelated individuals doing different things to the point "what are they doing" is unclear? Can't say I've ever run into that in my 48 years.
Sure, that's why I said 2 blocks away. The point is "they" is not exclusively used for plural, which was the claim I was replying to.
You might just not notice it.
