I have to agree. Last year, my wife and I traveled from Michigan for a weekend in Charleston, SC. I figured in the heart of the south, and the birthplace of the War of the Rebellion, Speakin' Southern would be all around. We were literally there for two days before I heard my first "y'all." I even thanked the man for his correct use of "y'all." Y'all is a perfect word that needs to make its way into the common vernacular anyway. It's so much more descriptive than "you people" or the ever popular and northern redneck "yous" "Y'all've" is even better.

In rural Missourri, you won’t hear y’all, or yous, but youns, pronounced YUNS. Weird, huh? Like in, “Are youns comin over later?”
