There was no ‘yous’ option.

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

and of course there’s the plural of “y’all” ... that being “all y’all”.

No "yiz" or "yinz" either.

Also they left out grinders, po' boys and torpedos for the "Italian sandwiches."

And tonic, lemonade, cocola, and fizzy drink for carbonated beverage.

And does the rest of the country really call sneakers "tennis shoes"?

I know, right? No Philly "yiz" ("Where yiz goin'?"), and no Central PA "you'ns" (yuns).

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."
