I don’t know the correct grammatical terms, but “you guys” has become the formal plural usage of you."

It’s derived from the New jersese “Youse Guys”

A little further south, the plural of you is "y'all", as in "you all" or "all of you".

"Hunker down."

This one drives my wife and me nuts when its time to prepare for a hurricane. Isn't there another way to say this?

"This page intentionally left blank."

So, let me get this straight-- The way you intended to leave it blank was not to actually leave it blank but to put words all over it. Is that correct?

.A little further south, the plural of you is "y'all", as in "you all" or "all of you".My mother-in-law used to say "you people". She was from Oklahoma.

It's intersting that English doesn't have a formal, plural, present tense form of you, other than just "you".

We have they or them for describing groups of people in a general sense; but no way to address groups of people personally. Hence all the forms of "you guys; you all, you people, and youse".

This is real language development, as opposed to a lot of slang terms, which people like to claim are language development, but are really just popular usages which will soon fade.
