Yeah, it's really confusing. "You" has the same problem, so I try to avoid that too. /s

  Huh, I never knew "you" was also plural. Practically never heard it used that way.

    The second person plural in my parents' idiolect of English is "you", but in mine there's effectively a familiar/formal dichotomy of "you guys" and "you", with the latter rarely used. In the American South, many people use "you" for singular and "y'all" for plural. I wouldn't be surprised if other dialects are also losing the plural "you".

      And also "yous" (or "youse") is used as a plural "you" in regions of Australia.

        Its the equvilent of the hillbilly term "thems" in the US of A.
