Almost all native-born Southerners I've met make it clear that
second-person singular is "you" and second-person plural is "you-all"
(pronounced "y'all"). In fact, they insist that Yankee interlopers
can be identified by their attempt to use y'all as a singular pronoun.

Hmmm. I was once told that the proper southern american second person singular pronoun was "you all", and the proper southern american second person plural pronoun was "all you all". Did I get that right? On May 1, 11:10 am, Fred Hebard <mb...@comcast.net> wrote:Peter, Glad to see you using the proper, Yankee form of the second-person plural pronoun! In other parts of the U.S. it's you'all, sometimes pronounced ya'll, but definitely containing more than one vowel in that instance. Fred On May 1, 2009, at 2:00 PM, Peter Fogg wrote:youse Americans
