    Where does it say you aren’t allowed to use it? That quote says you can.

      Yes, my point was that you can use it. I know because I did use it, and the quote was there to back up my experience.

        Oh, “you” referred to that individual instance, I read it as the general.

        This is why more people should adopt the second person plural “y’all”.

          Haha. I’m with you on the “y’all” usage. Ambiguity is annoying.

          Or we can go back to using the singular thy and reserve you for plural like in romance languages.

          Oh, heavens, no! I wouldn’t be heard uttering such vulgar language.
