What's this grammar term please?

I'm giving feedback on a training script I'd to deliver. The script was written using they, them and their which made it very difficult to read out loud. I'd like to feedback it would be better if the script's object (?) used you but I can't think what the grammatical term is. Is it just a change of pronouns? Thanks.

Collective nouns I think

The script’s ‘subject’ used first person singular pronouns?

Stichintime · 15/06/2023 11:22

Sorry that's wrong! They're pronouns

That's it @DistressedDamson subject needs to be changed to second person pronouns (you) instead of third person pronouns (they, them etc). Thank you.
