My whole life I was taught in school and outside that 'yous' is not a word and if you want to address more then one person you say: "you two" or something similar.

Most people I know share this same thought and have been taught that 'yous' is not a word.

Whatever word could replace it? Nothing! It has to exist, it's as stupid as saying 'two' is not a word, you must go the long way about it and say "One plus One Eggs are left in the Fridge".

 

youse [yooz]
or yous [yooz]
pron
you in plural: used to address more than one person

[Late 19th century. Formed from you .]

 

And looking further into the word it seems as though 'y-o-u-s-e' is the formal way it is spelt.
