Usage notes

• This can be used loosely to mean "the majority of people," though linguistic purists will protest. Everyone takes a singular verb: Is everyone here?; Everyone has heard of it. However, similar to what occurs with collective or group nouns like crowd or team, sometimes a plural pronoun refers back to everyone: Everyone was laughing at first, but then they all stopped.
