[QUOTE="Yomanser, post: 248755, member: 2875"] Anyone is a singular pronoun. While it is indefinite, it is a singular indefinite pronoun, and "they" contradicts subject agreement. It would be like saying "One of the girls gave up their seat", which is grammatically incorrect, as it should be "One of the girls gave up [B]her[/B] seat." "You" is also indefinite, but it could refer to a singular person or a plural group of people; in this case, it is being used as a singular pronoun. Therefore, "you" is correct, as is "he" and "she" if you is replaced with either of those, but "they" is incorrect. Next time you try to correct someone's grammar, make sure you actually know what you're talking about [/QUOTE]
