Haha, exactly. It's grammatically incorrect to use the word "you" in a general sense. The correct word, if you want a quick easy replacement type answer (though it's best just to rewrite it) is "one".
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
