T–V distinction
Sometimes, grammatical number will not represent the actual quantity, a form-meaning mismatch. For example, in Ancient Greek neuter plurals took a singular verb. The plural form of a pronoun may also be applied to a single individual as a sign of importance, respect or generality, as in the "pluralis majestatis", the T–V distinction, and the generic "you", found in many languages, or, in English, when using the singular "they" for gender-neutrality.
