    I live in Texas, but I refuse to say y'all. I usually say you guys (or ladies).

    I'm from the south, but I dissociate from it because that somehow makes me better than everyone else...

    I was born and raised in the "Y'all" zone...I still say y'all even tho I live on the west coast.

    I'm in Texas and we say "y'all." If it's a large group or we're including a group within a group, it's "all y'all." If something belongs to the group, it's "y'all's." And, yes, we really say these things.

    Born and raised in new jersey, live in Philly. I say ya'll, with a sprinkling of yous. I never said yous guys and I lived 30 minutes from the city.

    It's kind of transforming into yuhs. Yikes.

    I'm from the midwest originally so I usually say You Guys, but since I've moved south a few years ago, Ya'll occasionally makes it into my vocabulary.

    You guys it is...unless I'm tired or I have been talking to my "y''all" family, then it's "y'all."

    I really hate that term: Y'all

    I love when people say Ya'll but I'm from Australia so we don't hear it often.
