Annexation of Canada

Oppose.  We already have enough Canadiens as it is.

Seriously, "yall" is an improvement on the English language. It provides a separate word for the 2nd-person plural pronoun than the 2nd-person singular pronoun.

Umm, what do you call 'you guys'?

Anyway, I say we should all change to tú and vosotros!

Don't vosotros agree?

You guys? What the hell do you say if they're women?

'You guys'

What?!?!?

He said "you guys".

"Y'all" is about 100,000 times better than that ubitquitous "You guys" that you hear so often in the Northeast/Midwest.

I often hear "you guys" when I'm out on a date with a woman from a waiter/waitress.  It makes me want to punch him in the head.  I am not going out with a guy, unlike others who populate this forum.

So what's the problem?  It's obvious to everybody in that situation - you, the waiter, and the woman you're with - what's going on.  Why do you feel that his choice of words is an affront to your sexuality?

I'd much prefer to use two words that don't literally apply, than one word that isn't actually even a word.

The only thing I can figure is that many of your women up here (esp. in New England) look like men already, that "you guys" is quite an accurate description.

You is acceptable, and y'all is actually gramtically correct. Youse is most commonly used, though; at least in australia.

Brooklyn, Australia??
