Anybody seeming a bit useful? (3)

I believe the answer is:

you

'anybody' is the definition.
Both the answer and definition are singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'seeming a bit useful?' is the wordplay.
'seeming' becomes 'yo' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a bit' suggests taking the first letters (I've seen 'bit of' mean this).
The initial letter of 'useful' is 'u'.
'yo'+'u'='YOU'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for you that I've seen before include "The solver" , "Person being addressed" , "Thou" , "Neither me, nor him" , "Second person pronoun" .)
