"The correct expression is "you all." Ya'll is vulgar vernacular. "

Well if southerners talked as fast as New Yorkers we might have time to say "you all", but if we didn't take shortcuts we'd never finish a sentence.

I'm in Georgia. I used to work with a guy from New England. I remember him asking me to repeat what I said because he said we southerners talk too fast.

I never have been a fan of the fast talkers.. they just sound weasly. Now I myself have been known to drag a sentence much longer than necessary due to my slow drawl.


But the important point everyone is missing is that "Y'all" represents SLAVERY and oppression, and is derogatory to all that is decent in this world and it offends me when I hear it spoken to no end and must be banned through the united states..just like that God awful flag (/sarcasm).

(this despite the fact that most of america's founders were slave owners, and that delaware and maryland (union)allowed slavery during the civil war).... here it comes...

The great thing about the south is that when our people move somewhere we usually try to retain our culture and assimilate those around us. That is why so many yankees are trying so hard to destroy the culture we have so that when we do move somewhere we are just like them, and have nothing to preserve.
