Paul Brians, you are an idiot...



Have you been to the South? Have you spoken to any one who uses the phrase "y'all"

"Y'all" is properly used only when addressing two or more people." -Paul Brians

NO, it's "All y'all" Do these people fact check?!?!?!

i keep catching myself saying y'all now that we live in the "south". though technically, we are in the northern edge of the south, but still. by the time we move again, i'll sound like a right proper hick.and actually wb, it's "you'uns".

Well, in Texas it's "All y'all", Like: "All y'all, come in for supper."

k, here is the deal: y'all is used in the south and texas (which is sw). it sounds a hell of a lot better than "you guys". you'uns is used only in arkansas, where the true hicks live.
