I will die on the hill that "y'all" is a more concise way to convey the same information than any of the alternatives.
I haven't gotten a chance to use it yet, but one day the construction "all y'all'd've" will be relevant in my life.
That not even uncommon in the south!
"Let me try next. All y'all'd've been better off calling me in the first place."
I'm pretty sure I've legitimately busted out "y'all'd'n't've" before
Many languages have a plural second person pronoun, English can too y'all. It's a legitimately useful linguistic feature.
English used to have "ye", but we dropped it. Then we all looked around wondering where it went and had to recreate it.
"Y'all" down south. "Youse" in Philly, New York, Boston, etc. "Yinz" in Pittsburgh.
I think "y'all" is the best choice. I'm not a fan of "youse". "Yinz" doesn't even deserve consideration in my opinion.
Are there any others?
I am deeply saddened to learn about Yinz. WTF Pittsburgh. What do they got in the water up there?
I think we used to, but it fell out of use. Now it rises again with the South. (Wait...)
Tell that to every kid in Texas, that the teacher ever made write "yall is not a word" on the blackboard 100 times.
