    Bah, I prefer “youse guys”. Because I’m definitely a Pennsylvania mobster from the '30’s.

    Legally, I was born in the American South. Now, I haven’t been down there except to visit family for a few decades, but yer darn-tootin I’m gonna keep using the dumb language I grew up with. Ain’t nothin y’all can do to stop me, no matter how many dicks I suck.

    “Y’all” is a perfect second person plural.

    Old English used to not just have a second person plural but a dual - there was a pronoun for just talking to two people. Pronouns are fun, we need some more.

    Real. I love using both “y’all” and “folks”.

    Any and all people :)

      As a filthy Texan. I approve this.

      Howdy is fun. It’s funny. Foreigners like hearing it. What’s not to love?
