Re: Is it necessary to distinguish inclusiveness in possessive markers?

I think you'll be glad to hear that the pronominal system is the following, now:
I
we-excl.
we-incl.
you
y'all (i.e. you-plural)
he/she/it/they
someone/some people (i.e. fourth person)

I think that a plural distinction is only really necessary, in this case, for
the first and second persons. Easier to manage, I think.
