Modern English does not have distinct singular and plural second person pronouns. There is no reason to invent them just to make exegesis easier. Not in a day and age when Greek textual tools are trivial to get, and when GRAMCORD costs under $100.

Anyone working with precise enough exegesis to care if the word is a singular or second person prounoun will be working from the Greek and Hebrew.

Very true! and also in the Hebrew and Greek which is why the faithful translators of the KJV used these English equivalents. (thee, thy, thou, etc.)
