Funny you should mention this.  When I was learning Swedish, my
number one mistake was using "du" for the 2nd person plural as
well as the singular.  I knew that I was *supposed* to use "ni",
but old habits die hard.  I would also use "du" for the impersonal
(instead of "man").  It took me a couple months of training to
break that habit.
