I was recently riding a train, and a recorded announcement struck me as odd. The announcer said something like this:
We remind all passengers to take your belongings and your trash with you as you exit the train.
I would probably suggest something like this:
We remind all passengers to take their belongings and their trash with them as they exit the train.
In a different context I might say:
I remind all you students to take your textbooks with you when you leave for the day.
But the train's announcement sounds jumbled to me. Is this regional?
I like your alternative, Glenn. Otherwise, I think I'd be clutching my bag and looking around suspiciously at my seatmates.
I would also suggest that the word "all" takes the directive into the third-person unnecessarily; the imperative should be fine: "Passengers, take your belongings — do not leave anything on the train."
