        Coming from the North of England, I beg to differ that anything
remotely
        like "youse guys" or "y'all" or similar is a failing of the
"English"
        language.
        It may well be a failing of the American language, but that went off
on its
        own tangent when the Pilgrims left our fair land to seek equality
and
        baseball.

        In the north we say 'you guys'.

        Except in Brooklyn where they say "youse guys'.

                Rob,

                Please come here (Richmond, VA) and try to explain that to
all the
                Southerners here who think that "y'all" is singular and "all
y'all"
        is
                plural.  My freshman year RA quite succinctly explained that
"y'all"
                corrects one of the most severe failings of the English
language (at
        least
                in the minds of Southerners), the fact that "you" is both
singular
        and
                plural.

                Mike E.

                You're wrong.  A true southerner never uses y'all in the
singular.
