We say yous. We spell it you. As in, "You going to eat that?" Not, "Yous gonna ea thah?"
My cousins from Pennsylvania say "any uh alluh youse guys" when they want a "y'all" equivalent. Inefficient.
So inefficient.
I'm a big fan of the word y'all. English would be a better language if there was a definitive and official second person plural pronoun. I know "you" can be plural too, but it's just not the same.
I thought you were being facetious posting "alot" so I was all set to come up in here and yell "TAMB is not dumb, she was joking people". But I guess now *I* stand corrected. I'm disappointed in you, Tamb.
PEOPLE: TAMB IS NOT JOKING, SHE'S JUST DUMB
shoot, now I have to go unlike her post.
Also - I labored over using "I've gotta" instead but didn't want to give anyone a stroke.

Very inefficient. I just say "youse." With the accent, thought, it comes out like "yuhs." "Whadda yuhs doing for Thanksgiving?" Philadelphians say fuck consonants.

I've always been a fan of yunz/yinz/you-uns for grouping folks together. And not just because my family hails from Pittsburgh - it's just more efficient, like a casual Ustedes in Ingles.
I've had people argue with me that they do mean "ya'll, because they're saying "ya all." OK then. They get the same look as people who argue that "could care less" is correct.

Yep, "alla yuh" is what comes out of my mouth usually. lol.

She'll never change it. Now she'll think it's "hilarious" to keep posting it wrong because it riles you up.
It's not just her. I see this here and there and everywhere ALL THE TIME.
Not that I should be surprised that apostrophes flummox people in the extreme. Considering I read a post on here yesterday (can't remember who) where EVERY.SINGLE.PLURAL had a fucking apostrophe in it. EVERY ONE.
I stroked out, died, and logged off.
This is my biggest pet peeve ever. That and the fact that if you are using an acronym and want to pluralize it in some way, don't use an apostrophe EITHER.
So…IEP's? NO, IEPs, CEO's??? no CEOs.
Why are apostrophes so hard to use? I don't get it.
