[Ads-l] "you two's beliefs"

[Amy West]

I think we had a recent discussion on the possessive form of "you guys." 
? I just spotted this morning in a  Basic Instructions cartoon "I 
believe you two's beliefs are a total waste of time," where I would have 
put both parts of the compound? pronoun? "you two's" into the 
possessive: "your two's". I mention this only because it seems parallel 
to the "you guys" structure. (Oh, hey, wait a minute, was the "you guys" 
structure also complicated by being a plural possessive? Oh, heck, never 
mind then.)
