Everyone is not plural, it's a singular word-form. It is a word that has a plural meaning, but the word itself is singular.
In English you also say:
How IS everyone, and not
How ARE everyone, right?
And i've never seen 'nasıllar' yet.. i think it is one of those things in which the -lar- falls away.
(everyone is like police and forest.. the words have a plural meaning: more than one police-officer and a group of trees. Yet, you use the word as a singular one, because it's ONE group of things)

I should learn not to try and write Türkçe when I am still asleep and have not had coffee yet - it is so early

 Are you sure you can handle this? It's a strong aphrodisiac( or so they say- how can I know?  )so you'd better save it for later, when Kadir will be around!
