Definition:
A pronoun that refers to an unspecified person or thing. Indefinite pronouns include quantifiers (some, any, enough, several, many, much); universals (all, both, every, each); partitives (any, anyone, anybody, either, neither, no, nobody, some, someone). Many of the indefinite pronouns can function as determiners.
Examples:
- "For many are called, but few are chosen."
(Bible, Matthew 22.14) - "You can fool some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can not fool all of the people all of the time."
(Abraham Lincoln) - "Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination."
(Oscar Wilde) - "A little government and a little luck are necessary in life, but only a fool trusts either of them."
(P. J. O'Rourke)
