Any matter, please?

Hi,

Is there any matter if I say: "Now listen you all. Our next meeting will take place within two months."

Tks in advance,

Hi, Is there any matter if I say: "Now listen you all . " Yes. In most contexts you will sound rude, because of the peremptory, imperative tone of the first sentence.

  • 'You all' is less common than 'everybody'.
