Hmm... I didn't really understand this one
You gave wayyyy too many clues. Good, though. I tried to submit it, before I knew you had.
let's just say english is not my best subject.
very tricky and clever!
Very good , i love the language teasers Thx.
how about upend? up, end, pend, pen
None of those are personal pronouns, Allenliu.
I really liked this one, but I also thought that the word "user" would have worked as well. Does it or am I just crazy?
That was a good word game not too hard, made you think a bit though.
I got this one. Me being married a week ago probably helped lol.
gt, CL2 user is a word but not a personal pronoun, Hungrygit get off computer and go back to your bride before you have problems
I got it!!! Good one!
Liked this one very much. Took a while but I came up with same answer. And Hungrygit, tha's good advice Builder gave you. Congratulations and have a very happy future with your bride.
My brain couldn't get out of first gear today,had no clue.
I got it right by accident, but thought I was wrong
Urrrggghhhh! Not a good one!
Good teaser!
That was fun, nice one
got this one right away must have been the candy bar and pepsi I had for breakfast
If it had been a trick question: yours, your, you (U), our, and ours.
Piece of cake!
Thanks for a fun teaser!

was stupid get the heck out of here
It was fun and simple.
Nifty!
I was trying to make 'your' work, even though it only has 4 letters.
beyond easy
once i got my brain to see it, it was easy. took a bit of thinking though!
I should have known, I am an usher at my church!
I got stuck on 'upon' (3 words- no pronouns!) then finally realized 'us' had to be the beginning of the word..only pronoun I could think of starting with U. Good teaser
Cute, I liked that one.
I also got 'your' stuck in my head, even though I knew it didn't start with 'u'. Oh well. Fun one!
I have no idea why...even though I'm not good with English, I got that on my first guess..
Yay, me I guess!
Yay, me I guess!
Or a six-letter word, ushers, and you add a fifth personal pronoun: hers.
Really easy but cute though.

Very easy, but I liked it.
Just guessed right.
I love easy teasers.
Easy in 2007, easy now 3 years later. But fun. Are these the kinds of things you sit and think about, im para noid? You have a curious sort of mind ... LOL.
Don't know why, but this one come to me quickly. Thanks for making me feel smarter than I am.
I got it this time. Hooray for me. Maybe the old brain still works now and then. Hi GW. Hope you are having a great week.
I got it too - great minds think alike! Thanks for the greeting, Sis! Life is good. Glad to see you here!
I really enjoyed this one. Knowing the first one had to be "us" helped quite a bit in figuring it out.
This teaser is not LUDACRIS.
Good teaser. Not too hard, it just took a little time and patience. Enjoyed it!
not a bad teaser but there's something wrong with it. It says "personal Pronouns" He and She are pronouns but not personal ones, nor is us. The only personal pronoun in the answer is her.
...and ushering contains 5 pronouns...
Fun teaser! I got it - not too many words begin with the letter "U" and I figured out the answer quickly. Thanks for posting!
Nice ezy fun teaser, thanks!
"Beginning with U" made it trivial.
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser; I got it right away.
