Audio (US) (file)

Pronoun

everyone

Every person.
- 1847 Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre, Chapter XVII
  It was well I secured this forage […] ; everyone downstairs was too much engaged to think of us.
- 1914, James Joyce, Dubliners, "An Encounter"
  Everyone's heart palpitated as Leo Dillon handed up the paper and everyone assumed an innocent face.

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.

Synonyms

(every person): everybody, the world and his wife

Antonyms

(every person): no one
