> I thought 'they' is always plural?
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.
