I'm p. sure they're indefinite pronouns, but you can call them whatever you like to. ;)

You're saying that Someone can't be named a pronoun? Elsewhere did it, and so did Somewhere.

No, 'Someone' IS a pronoun, just in a special group called 'indefinite pronouns'.

They don't name anything specific like personal pronouns, or the other two types of pronouns do. Like, for example, 'someone' refers to a nameless person, while 'everyone' or 'everybody' refers to a nameless group of people.

Of course, we always have to assume that 'someone' or 'everyone/body' is masculine if no gender if specified. ;;

Like:

"Everyone needs to do his homework."

Sounds weird, but that's the example we got in English class back in sixth grade~

Aaaand, that's where you're wrong. I'll name my kid whatever the hell I want, Gabby. If I want to call them Someone, I will. ;)

D'aww, Someone is such an unfortunate name. DX

English is a really weird language btw. Small wonder why it's so hard to learn, although technically, it's my second language. :S

My seventh grade English teacher's friend apparently wanted to name her son 'Anonymous'. Doh

This is what happens when I go grammar teach all over things. 8|

@Pollo: It's hard for people who're learning it for a second language, generally. :L

My gramps is still learning, himself, and my granny can speak it, but she's not any good at it. Mostly because she still refuses to learn. :|

Yeah, I need new glasses. These ones suck and apparently make my nose blue with some funky blue-greenish crap that likes to grow on the nosepad thingies.

The person's wondering if he can magically turn Treecko, Torchic, and Mudkip into Smugleaf, Emboar, and Wotter.

Which he can't, obviously.

No, but if I looked hard enough, I'm sure I could find plenty of broken English posts.
