you should fill with the pronoun "you", which can be used either for singular or plural. |

I agree with Ramone - the correct answer is " you " ( the plural one ) .

You. Although where I come from (NE England) we say, yous, but we would never write it. |

Although in time, I �m sure, the word �yous � will become accepted, at present it is still considered bad grammar for many people. It makes me think of �ewes � ie female sheep!  |

Lynne,
"Yous" is common in some parts of the US, too. A very interesting observation about it: People here always write it "youse", which doesn �t make any sense at all. First, I would pronounce it to rhyme with "louse" or "house", which destroys the word completely. Second, it is clearly meant as the plural of "you", so there �s no reason for it to be spelled in any way other than "yous".

Interestingly enough, both "youse" and "yous" are listed as colloquial forms in my 1997 copy of the Australian National Dictionary. There is an interesting Australian article about it, its usage and origins, here and a blog here

The correct answer is "you", but down south (southern USA) they�d say "y�all".

Interesting, Bruce and Jayho. I remember when I started learning French and I thought how much sense it made to have a plural form of �you. � Then I started learning Italian, and there were four! Tu/voi/Lei/Loro. Great stuff! |
