Re: [RC] Plural of Y'all - Truman Prevatt

While it pains me to agree with Angie ;-) I must on this one. In proper Southerneeze (and Texas is not in the South BTW) the plural of Y'all is Y'all. All the other misuses are simply local dialects.

Of course it would help if Angie would learn to spell y'all.

No. I'm sorry but I disagree. The EASIEST way to catch a yankee is when
they look at one person and say, "Ya'll want a drink" or whatever. If I
look at a crowd of people and see 6 over to the side who are talking I
can say, "ya'll get quiet so the vet can talk" (plural). If *everyone*
is talking I *might* say "All ya'll get quiet so the vet can talk". Ya'll is plural. All ya'll is all encompassing plural. And...yes, I
know I spell ya'll different from everyone else but when ya'll spell the
conjuntion "Do not" as "D'not" and "We will" as W'ill I'll change that.
