I’ve always wondered why y’uys didn’t become a thing where people say you guys. I grew up with y’all. It’s efficient and inclusive which is added bonus and ironic coming from the south
I grew up around Seattle and also with y’all.
Of course, a lot of people say ‘you guys’ and either don’t care or have decided that it’s gender non deterministic because ya’ll is cringe and racist-coded.
Never even heard of y’uys.
Would that be pronounced Yaiz?
???
Anyway, half of those questions I could have answered with half of the options given, as they’re all common enough that most people either know what they mean or use them… and then the other half of the questions were basically just one answer.
EDIT: If anyone cares, easiest way in the world to tell someone is a California transplant is that they say ‘the 5’, not ‘I-5’. That is, for the ones who aren’t always telling you they are from California.
EDIT 2: Is there some kind of map of where Americans do and do not raise the pitch of the last word or syllable in a sentence? You know, that makes it sound like a statement is actually a question?
Its that weird tonal pattern that I have always found indicates a person is self centered and sheltered. I’ve known it as ‘Valley Girl Accent’ since I was a kid, and it only seems to be spreading.
Apparently its called ‘High Rising Tone’?
Annoy every region in the US speedrun
I dunno about yins, but you’ns is crazy if’n y’all don’t use alla’yous’n’em
THANK YOU FOR THIS!
“You folks” for life. Why was this not an option?
Do you say “Hey you folks” to address a group? It sounds awkward to me.
Maybe just “Hey folks”?
Americans say “youse” too? Huh, I thought that was exclusively a bogan thing
East coast Canadians as well.
Yas (pronounced yuhz)
I somehow wound up in Fresno and Boston the first time I took the quiz.
