I bought a shirt once in Pittsburgh that says, “Yinz is a gender-neutral p pronoun”
Fwiw, second person is fine as long as there's no misgendering... It's like calling someone by their name
Is guys really needed after youse?
The guys is needed where there's no 2.pl pronoun to distinguish from individual you, but youse fixes that
Only if you man in it a "you people" kind of way - like y'all need to stay with your own kind- or something like that.
I’m on the border of y’all and you
Your comment gives me the urge to create other maps you can comment on so that I can triangulate your position.
I am open to the opportunity
Is the difference between youse and youse guys the number of people involved? Similar to y'all and all y'all?
Nah you just replace you with youse. Example:
Happy birthday to youse, happy birthday to youse. Happy birthday this fucking guuuuy! Happy birthday to youse!
I don't think "Y'all" would be problematic. But I also offer "You peeps", I enjoy that one more in day to day conversation.
Where does this put Scott the Woz?
"Y'all" has wider reach than this map suggests, particularly in black and queer communities.
If you live on the line, or move north/west, it's now "you all".
