"There was no ‘yous’ option.

And I’m impressed with those who say ‘you all’ instead of ‘y’all’. I never knew anyone did."

In the aftermath of the Boston bombings, I heard a local Boston reporter - at a press conference - use "yous." I'm from the north, and I've started using "you all" in preference to "you guys," which I can't stand. I will NOT call women "guys."

Southern California would drive you nuts. That's how we say y'all out there.
