y'all
“Y’all” is such a great word. It may be the South’s single greatest contribution to our society.
We don’t have a “you plural” in English. We’ve got no “ustedes” “You guys” is too informal for all occasions, and it excludes the women in the crowd. But “y’all” just rolls off the tongue, easy and friendly.
“Y’all” doesn’t discriminate. It addresses one and all: family, friends, pets, lovers, and adversaries.
My hat’s off to all y’all Southerners for bringing us such a great word.
