Why doesn't English have a plural you like German? Do the other Germanic languages have plural you?

"You" is plural. According to [1] "you" and "ye" were plural (and "thou" (nominative), "thee" (accusative), "thy" (gen) and "thine" (gen) were singular). Fascinating!

The collective 'you' is the same as the singular. Just like fish and sheep.

It's incorrect to create a collective 'you' in the same way it's incorrect to say 'sheep'. But English is open source, so whatever.

Ironically, I'm from New Orleans apparently.
