I'm curious about the interogative, "Where is everyone from?" I can't put my finger on it, but I think Mrs Canerday, my 7th grade English teacher, would've nailed it and given me another of her inexplicably complex rationale's for a "C".

"Where are you from?" (with the 'you' implied plural), seems inexact and misses what the thread starter wanted.

"Whence comest thou" seems a tad formal.

"Where're ya'll from" maybe too casual.
