I have the following sentence: Everybody must sign his or her own name. Should it be everyones, everyones or everyones? Grammarians actually agree that the words everyone and everybody are singular. Are the words everyone and everybody singular or plural? Joe got everyones attention and started to speak. Janet, go and welcome everybody so they understand the party has already started. Everybody, along with everyone, traditionally uses a singular pronoun of reference: · welcome, everybody! Which is equivalent to, for example: Everybody must sign his own name. Having said this, its absolutely fine to use either one. Also, everybody is used more often than everyone in spoken language, which makes sense if its more informal. Because the use of his in this context is now perceived as sexist by some, a second option became popular: Grammar girl [. ] says, everyone sounds like a lot of people, but in grammar land, everyone is a singular noun and takes a singular verb. Without the comma as a sentence, it would be, for example: And can i use a plural pronoun (such as their) to refer to these words? It doesnt matter which one you use in this case. As whether everybody and everyone are interchangeable - yes, they are.
