I know we would never say things like “Everyone else are walking around,”

but maybe we should.

And in any situation in which a noun implies many people:

Like the word “family”

“My family is at Disneyland.”

vs

'My family ARE at Disneyland."

Ya see what I mean?

    perfectly understandable

    It’s the “everyone is walking around” thing that stumped me this evening because in this scenario, these are lots of different people not in one group, they’re all scattered around at the beach and on the trails and in the grass, they are not one group. They are quite plural.

    Yeah but must use proper grammar 🤷🏻‍♀️
