That may have been fine in 1500, but in modern, American english the phrase “they is” just makes you sound like an idiot.

So would saying "you is".

You are an idiot. They are an idiot

Thou is an idiot if you want to be 'correct'.

I'm talking about third-person pronoun, not second. Sentences like "They is in the office".
You'd say "They are" just like you say "You are" not "You is" for second person. English isn't some precisely specified 1 look ahead formal grammar.
