    That is right! From now on let's stop with the hurtful pronouns that designate one birth sex.:D There are no he's and she's, just a bunch of y'alls'! :rolleyes:

    Saying "they" just can't compare with saying y'all. Y'all covers it all. :)

    Of any language/accent folks who live in So. California don't like to hear is "y'all". I had a friend that said "good morning, y'all" to someone there and the person said back to them, "we don't speak Southern here, go back to the South of you want to say that word."

    Not a smart thing to say, Beth, with a roper on the forum, but wait a minute, you ins, he was a header, not a healer.

    A true Suthnuh knows that "y'all" is singular and "all y'all" is plural.

    " 'n them" is used when referring to a group that's not there, as in "Bubba 'n them is coming to the cookout today."
