	Grammar Geek  #462868  Fri, 11 Jan 08 02:19 AM She's using 2nd person, not 3rd. It's not at all uncommon to say "you" when you mean "people in general." It's odd to say "you should wear a coat" and mean "anyone should." But these are all examples "you" that don't really mean YOU: "you'd never know it" or "you can see the ocean from here" or "you have got to be kidding me!"    Grammar Geek Joined on Tue, Jan 10 2006 Pennsylvania, USA Veteran Member (16,617) Barbara, who answers in American English.
