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?
