Use of indefinite pronoun Any

I agree with the native speakers:

and

147 for "Have any of

I'm voting for 'HAS' if the sentence is "Has any of you faxed the document?". The pronoun 'any' can be used as singular and plural. It depends on the context of the sentence. In this case, 'any' is used as a collective form of the persons that could possibly faxed the document, it should be used as a singular indefinite pronoun; the pronoun 'you' can be both a singular and plural (2nd person); an
