I'm not talking about when someone says, "You guys are cool." I'm talking about when they say, "You're so fat."
It just makes no sense. If you have to use the word "you," just use it singularly.

That's why I said, "If you have to use the word 'you,' just use it singularly." Using it in that way is fine.

well, there are a few things that can be used singularly or plurally.
there is no difference between saying you is fat or you are fat.

Yes, but saying, "You are fat" makes more sense than saying "You're so fat."

i think using "you're" and "are" together would make it seem like you are insulting the person. i would never insult someone by saying they were fat.

@TheColorMan
It depends on who you're talking about. If you say that to a group of people, it wouldn't sound right if you said, "You guys are fat." It should be singular.

well then you say "you're so fat" as a figure of speech
but in reality you say "you are so fat"

No. You have to say, "You're so fat," or "You are so fat." You can't combine them.

That's why I said use it singularly if you HAVE to use it. Which you don't because it makes no sense.

I agree. It just sounds weird. Like you're trying to insult them without actually doing it.
