Mataglap enthusiast Registered: 11/06/2003 Posts: 384	Y'all (and "all y'all") are widely used in the Southeast, much more so than almost any other Southerny colloquial except for "ain't". I picked it up living in Charleston, SC, and it wasn't unusual even in the DC area. But anyway. Glad to hear things are moving along well. Please keep us as up to date as you can, if you have time.

Well you know, the second person plural pronoun is conspicuously absent from the English language, so this Californian find himself using it on occasion. Hell, it's better than "Youse". Of course, given that I live in L.A. I can frequently get away with "ustedes" _________________________ Ninti - MK IIa 60GB Smoke, 30GB, 10GB

Us all (what is the first person of "y'all"?) are dandier'n a sucking hog in a root tootin' sink o'grits, although we are experiencing difficulty adapting our vernacular to that of our new paterfamilias. I'm with Tony. Still wiping the diet coke off the keyboard here. Cheers!

Also not speaking from personal experience, but I'd suggest "we's all". Example usage: Hick 1 (on the phone): What y'all doing? Hick 2: We's all over at the farm, blowin' up stumps. Jed's got this cool idea, though -- y'all should come on down and see what he's gonna do!
