David, are you aware of any modern translations that have actually taken
this approach to distinguish between the singular and plural forms of
you in the bible in their English translations, that is besides the New
World Translation of the Holy Scriptures which uses YOU in instances
where the context may not be determinative?

Sincerely,
Dan Parker
