Which makes me think:  "ya'll" is the only southern form I know ("southern"
being "highland southern" in my terminology).  I only hear "you all" in
Foghorn Leghorn cartoons (although I will admit that it may be present in
coastal southern).  Where is Jim Lehrer from?

I was always amused by my cousins in Indiana who said "you-uns" instead of
"ya'll."
