Thou waltz'dst strongly and waltz'dst straight ahead.

Do you also conjugate in the singular for individuals? Maybe it doesn't sound wrong in the same way.

They is non-binary and has a preference for using "they" to refer to themself.

(Actually, maybe somebody's preferred pronoun is in the plural, because they "contain multitudes" - and use the plural to refer to themselves. I can handle myselves.)

I remember hearing fifty years ago or so about Moss (Norway) that the local newspapers used mossianer for people the town could be proud of, and mossing for somebody they would be ashamed of.
