Is that just a Gibraltarian thing or is it similar across all of southern Spain?

I've always heard ustedes (including using the vosotros verb form as Andy pointed out) not just in Gibraltar but across the border in Spain.

EDIT: I meant to add the following but I've only just realised that I didn't!

For example she told me platicar is not really used in Spain.

That's right. When I joined this site and heard about Platiquemos, I looked up this verb since I'd never heard my Latin American friends use it. Which part of Latin America is it predominant?

Vos is the plural of t�. In other words think of this

Tu - you
Ud - You third person conjugation like Portuguese Voc�

vos - you two guys (you plural) as if you were addresing two people in front of you.

Uds - Them

Juegen = They play

More info on this topic:

To settle this issue: "vosotros" is not used in most parts of Andalusia and Extremadura, and never in the Canary Islands.However, as you can read on wikipedia's article, there're some extrange combinations: in some parts of Andalusia ustedes is used with the verbal form for vosotros (i.e.: �que comeis ustedes?).

Patuco: regarding "platicar", I've always heard that verb in Mexican Spanish. I guess it's popular in other neighboring countries as well.
