The You Game!

[Hoozang]

Did ^^ and ^^^ read the post ^^^^^ made?
< can notice some members are getting REAL pissed about the memes, and so <, < may post a lot about memes, but, < will stop as of now. < is also getting pretty sick of it. Please, ^ and ^^, stop a while with the Montage Parody memes. In the /r/montageparodies reddit page, MLG speak is not fully admitted at all. Guys, stop, please.

[Harpic fraîcheur]

< says that ^'s post made < REALLY pissed ; < isn't talking about memes.

[Shrooblord]

^ knows what ^^ meant. Your (plural, not just you, Harpic) jokes are getting old.

[Imco]

< has been smiling all day
< doesn't know why, but < can't seem to wipe this smile of his face

[Jewish Candy]

Aww seeing that made < smile!

< has been watching vids of drag performers putting on the works. Interesting to see how contouring is done in the wild - it's something < really wants to get better at, because while < doesn't do it at all right now there will come a time when < will find it very handy...

[Ambidextroid]

< is curious as to whether 'Your' can be a plural, < thought it was only singular.
If you where going to use it for many people, you'd have to establish a group first by saying 'All' or something so that it would still make sense as a singular, because you're addressing a group...

I don't actually know, they're just my thoughts.

[Jewish Candy]

'Your', like 'you', can be singular or plural in standard English - it originated as a plural - and is normaly defined by context.

< is educating the youth, can < b mod yet

[Ambidextroid]

Is ^ sure?
If the first thing you said to a group of people was "Your jokes are getting old" without an introduction, it sounds as if you're focusing on one person.
If you said "All of you, your jokes are old" then it sounds like it would make much more sense, because you're establishing "All of you" as the singular group of people, and it makes the world 'Your' into a singular. Same thing with 'You', it sounds like a singular that can be made into a pseudo-plural if you establish a group as a singular first, if you see what < means.
Whatever, it just sounds really odd to <.

[Jewish Candy]

Note < said 'normally'. < might clarify a plural with 'you guys', like you clarify with 'all of you' or Southerners do with 'y'all', but that doesn't change the history of the word 'you' nor the fact that it is used for both singular and plural.

[Shrooblord]

Southeners also say "y'all" when they talk about only one person though.

All the 'you' pronouns are both plural and singular. That goes for 'you', 'your' and 'yours'. And yes, < is sure.
Although 'you guys' or 'all of you' would clarify further, neither are necessary to convey the same message or meaning.

If only we still used Olde English... then this would be so much more easily solved.
Thou hath forsaken me! - Only you, that one person I'm talking to, has forsaken me.
Thou have forsaken me! - All of you have forsaken me.

[Jewish Candy]

Exactly. But < doesn't mind the loss of thou, though it is a nice pronoun.

WAIT A SECOND. That last one should be "you have forsaken me". Silly Shroob.

[Adsolution]

< finds it funny, speaking of old English, how "ye" was never a word, and that it simply arose from people mistaking the old English cursive þ ("th") for a y.

[NyaNyaLily]

< played the ps1 version of rayman 1 again, and has just beaten viking mama
Now < is at pencil pentalon ;_;

[Ambidextroid]

Oh, < had never really considered 'You' and 'Your' as plurals, but <'s probably just never noticed anyone using them.

< got these in the post today:
A nice orange teapot


and a badge with the 0-3 sad onions warning on

[Jewish Candy]

That's a nice teapot there. < wonders who gave them to you.

[DesLife]

<'s been composing a jazz track all afternoon.

[Ambidextroid]

That's a nice teapot there. < wonders who gave them to you.

< was given the teapot by <'s father, and the badge by a certain Stuart Ashen

[Jewish Candy]

A real, genuine Stuart Ashen? < is envious.

<'s been composing a jazz track all afternoon.

Fo' yo' band, or fo' yo' self?

[MrBadGuy]

< wishes poo weren't a thing in real life

[Jewish Candy]

< is glad that we're able to dispose of waste
