Not just vosotros. Usted is almost never used among Mexican people, at least those in Los Angeles. They always say tu. It can be really jarring if you've been raised using both those conjugations the way I was - I've always had to struggle against this instinctive reaction that the person talking to me was really rude, when actually he's just speaking another dialect.

	Maybe it's an LA thing? I've seen Mexican people calling others "usted" a lot of times. (Reply to this)(Parent)
