Had any of you faxed the document?
Because, my dear, you can bottle this
And sell it at a masochist convention

Первый правильный грамматически, но я часто слышу тут второй.

Откуда я знаю? Я с временами не знаком.

Контест, по русски - "факс послали уже?"

По-моему будет правильно: Have any of you.
Со словом you всегда идет have, тем более во множественном числе. Has уже не то. Had также не подходит (причем тут прошедшее время :pain1: )

В Английском языке существует категория существительных с формой образования множественного числа называемой "Discretionary plurals"

A number of words like army, company, crowd, fleet, government, majority, mess, number, pack, and party may refer either to a single entity or the members of the set that compose it. Thus, as H. W. Fowler describes, in British English they are "treated as singular or plural at discretion"; Fowler notes noted that occasionally a "delicate distinction" is made possible by discretionary plurals: "The Cabinet is divided is better, because in the order of thought a whole must precede division; and The Cabinet are agreed is better, because it takes two or more to agree."[2] Also in British English, names of towns and countries take plural verbs when they refer to sports teams but singular verbs when they refer to the actual place: England are playing Germany tonight refers to a football game, but England is the most populous country of the United Kingdom refers to the country. In North American English, such words are invariably treated as singular.

По данным базы данных Гугла, "are any of you" используется в 20 раз чаще чем "is any of you"
