&p sometimes produces things like 'they is' due to assuming singular pronoun #168

Many messages in the game assume a singular pronoun, i.e. he, she, or it, so they use 'is.' However, this created problems, when the player's pronoun is 'they.' No idea how to fix this right now.

Probably not that many examples of this. Maybe we could just include special handling in the console where we change any "they is" to "they are". What other string replacement would we need to cover this?
