Yeah i don’t get the whole use of “they” when referring to only one person. Is she saying she has multiple personalities?

"Yeah i don’t get the whole use of “they” when referring to only one person."

If I remember my 7th-8th grade English class, "they, them, their" are properly used when gender is unspecified: "Go find someone in the classroom and ask them if they will come help stack the books in the library."

Does anyone ever use proper English anymore? If so, they hide it well.
