But I think that using "they" for singular has been quite common when gender was unknown or else all-encompassing.
for example: Someone left a note in my mailbox. They said they have my package that was delivered earlier.
If a person wants to use the pool, they have to sign a waiver.
I saw someone walking by and they were wearing a fedora.
etc.
Still confusing nonetheless.
Its definitely possible to create ambiguity.
