    I'm definitely a "y'all." It covers all genders.

    When someone refers to me and the people at my table as "guys" I want to scream "I did not grow a weenie!"

    Depending on who I am speaking too it's "You guys or You all" but mostly Y'all because I live in south.

    I've always said y'all because my daddy is from Texas and I guess I picked it up from him. I was raised in Northern VA though and they DEFINITELY don't say y'all there. I always got laughed at in school when I would say it.

    I'm from south/central Alabama, but I say "you guys". I get picked on a lot, because everyone else around here says "ya'll".

    :laugh: I'm from a "you guys" state. But I've been in the south for 5 years and I'm slowly including "y'all" in my vocabulary.

    Y'all.

    I still don't understand why this is not a recognized contraction across the nation.
