Sojourner Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 I say y'all, and I'm not from the South. But my grandma is from Texas; maybe I learned it from her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pio Nono Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 JMJ 7/29 - St. Martha I say "y'all", and I'm from Indiana.....[b][i]southern[/i][/b] Indiana. And "y'all" is a simple plural referring to a few people; the complex plural of "y'all" is "all y'all." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1337 k4th0l1x0r Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Pio Nono - thanks for getting into the whole y'all vs. all y'all distinction. This is a concept that few people north of the Mason-Dixon line understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quietfire Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 (edited) Besides, Ya'll is a US thing. its the kwicky word for you all. Ya'll know that , right? Cant call it slang, cause it was around before the word slang ever showed up. Then theres twang. the southern drawl. Then there Shane, the movie. Ok, ok. Im outta here. Peace. I switch back and forth between "you guys" and "ya'll" Edited July 29, 2004 by Quietfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancesforLove Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 didn't say that no one else said it. I'm saying that it's primarily texan and southern because everyone I know from up north says you all. BUT I'm not saying EVERY southern person says it either.

Colleen Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 But the real question is, is it "y'all" or "ya'll"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
