English Language & Usage Asked by thinkpad22 on August 12, 2021
Do you have any suggestions to clearly show that the second person pronoun is singular, not simply basing it on context? For example, one could use "you man" or "you one," but it may at times be very artificial, forced, and unnatural. I would appreciate hearing your ideas!
One way consists in using the pronoun "yourself" in an apposition.
There is the possibility of using a term of address.
Another way is the use of a special phrase, such as "of all …", but then something is added to the meaning; therefore, if this added meaning is relevant, there is no problem as you can kill two birds with one stone.
You, of all the men in the group, decided that this was the right thing to do.
You, alone, are responsible.
