Every once in a while I sometimes think about remaking the English writing system, as is normal I’m sure😅, and I wonder what would be the most useful revision of punctuation or phonetic.

    The phrase “you all” doesn’t actually fit in the English standardization though and is itself just shorthand for “all of you [individuals],” which just highlights how clunky English handles second person plurals.

      hence my preference for “YOU’UNS” because if you’re going to be grammatically repugnant then embrace it.
