         admired ?" --shak. you and your are sometimes used
         indefinitely, like we, they, one, to express persons
         not specified. "the looks at a distance like a
         new-plowed land; but as you come near it, you see
         nothing but a long heap of heavy, disjointed clods."
         --addison. "your medalist and critic are much nearer
         related than the world imagine." --addison. "it is
         always pleasant to be forced to do what you wish to do,
         but what, until pressed, you dare not attempt." --hook.
         you is often used reflexively for yourself of
         yourselves. "your highness shall repose you at the
         tower." --shak.
