You, in this case, is singular. Why are you using are?!
It turns out, "the issues this causes for clarity in language" don't actually matter, and it doesn't cause any issues. It's perfectly clear "you" and "they" here are singular, despite the plural grammar. It is not confusing, as you clearly proved in your own comment by using "you are."
