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.
