Description
> Keep going please because I love you guys and want to keep watching
Apparently "guy" is a verb as well as a noun. Maybe the rule needs to be modified to check if the verb is also a noun, or maybe it needs a special case for "you" + "guys"

Research direction
No file or test is named. Start by locating the PronounVerbAgreement rule and reproducing the quoted “you guys” sentence; inspect its existing tests and behavior for ordinary pronoun–verb agreement. Done means this phrase is no longer flagged while genuine agreement errors remain detected.
