	Somehow reflexive confused me. I would have gotten anaphor, though. I guess reflexive would be the layman's term, though.

	"you" should be accepted for "you all" or even replace it.

	"You" is the correct second person plural. "You all" is acceptable only in Southern USA regional dialect; most English speakers do not use it.

	2nd person plural can be used as "you all" in context: "What are you all doing?" (sometimes 'all' can be replaced with other stuff like "guys" or something). Besides, what's the fun in typing 'you' and getting 4 answers right?

	Brobert2:	Nov 8th, 2009 at 16:56 GMT	2 points
	It's a bit odd that you've included "you all," seeing as it's not standard, wouldn't be found in any English textbook or grammar book, and is only used in a few dialects of the English language. Maybe if the quiz name was "English Personal Pronouns in the South" it would be more fair.

	English textbooks are prescriptive, the language is changing all the time! There are plenty of contexts where people all over the US use 2nd person plural which is not realized by just "you": 'Hey you guys!' 'Okay youse guys, let's get down to business.' Plus, getting 4 answers right with one response is preposterous!

	why no possessives?

	i agree with astral sandwich, and besides, in the south they say y'all, not you all. in reference to foreign languages (french vous for example) you all is generally the neutral if somewhat stilted term used.

	The comment of Brobert2 is spot on and, as an Englishman, I found it hard to guess that some kind of Dixieland-speak was required in what purports to be an "English Language Quiz". Getting 4 answers right with one response is NOT preposterous if you set 4 questions with the same right answer!
