July 25, 20223 yr When I was growing up I was taught that there is a very specific way to use the term "you all". First, never use the term when taking to a single person. If there is only one person use a simple "you". When there are several people it changes a bit. For 2-5 people the term "y'all" is appropriate. For a group of more than 5 people you should say "all y'all". That's just how one southern-raised family used it. I'm curious to know of there are other "rules". Probably, I just don't know what they are.....Doug Intel 10700K @ 5.1Ghz, Asus Hero Maximus motherboard, Noctua NH-U12A cooler, Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB 3200 MHz RAM, RTX 2060 Super GPU, Cooler Master HAF 932 Tower, Thermaltake 1000W Toughpower PSU, Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit, 100TB of disk storage.

July 25, 20223 yr Rules? We don't need no stinkin' rules! 😁 Native Virginian and the use of y'all was applied to two or more people. I think "all y'all" might be a think in the deep south.

July 25, 20223 yr In certain parts of Ireland, (Dublin) "you" is singular,whereas "yous" is plural. Of course the correct English is "You" for both singular and plural, but certain other parts of Ireland also use "Ye" for you, as parts of Wexford and Newfoundland,of which many Irish and Scottish settled. If you ever watched "Republic of Doyle", you'll get a feel for the Irish/Scottish dialects. Jude BradleyBeech Baron: Uh, Tower, verify you want me to taxi in front of the 747?ATC: Yeah, it's OK.

July 25, 20223 yr "You" is technically correct for both singular and plural unless of course you were born and raised in LA (Lower Alabama😁), then it's you and y'all. Ryan

I wouldn't be surprised if some regions of Pennsylvania shortened it to "yinz". My mother was from Pennsylvania, and of course, did not speak English. 😄 They have lots of odd pronunciations and words. You might guess that "wheeds" grow in your yard, but do you know what a clothespress is? Or a pocketbook? Taggers and iggles can be found in zoos. Mom called this dialect "Pennsylvania Dutch", actually "Deutsch" meaning German. Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
