What is "All of you."
My friend argues that the phrase, "All of you," when said by itself, is not a statement.
I argue that it must be, but I fail at justifying this belief.
If someone says, "By a show of hands, how many of you are going to the field trip tomorrow," and then post-response, he acknowledges with, "All of you," how do you classify that statement?
