“Y’all” is a perfect second person plural.
Old English used to not just have a second person plural but a dual - there was a pronoun for just talking to two people. Pronouns are fun, we need some more.
What was it? The dual pronoun?
git - which I think is pronounced “yit.”
That’s so funny. The closest thing I’ve seen to that is a specific second person plural that usually refers to a specific subset of the listeners: y’uns.
Bah, I prefer “youse guys”. Because I’m definitely a Pennsylvania mobster from the '30’s.
Real. I love using both “y’all” and “folks”.
Any and all people :)
I don’t care for y’all in the slightest. But very much enjoy you using it for #3 as well.
I use “howdy” as a greeting way to often for someone not from the south
As a filthy Texan. I approve this.
Howdy is fun. It’s funny. Foreigners like hearing it. What’s not to love?

That’s god dang appropriation ya little homo
Legally, I was born in the American South. Now, I haven’t been down there except to visit family for a few decades, but yer darn-tootin I’m gonna keep using the dumb language I grew up with. Ain’t nothin y’all can do to stop me, no matter how many dicks I suck.
