Co-incidental, maybe, but in 8th grade grammar class we were taught that
"ya'll", "you all" "you-ins" and "yuns" were all incorrect 2nd person plurals
that are "sometimes heard around here".
This was rural Southern Illinois, (Pinckneyville, Perry County, to be exact).
And I have heard them all; I use "ya'll" and have lapsed once or twice (long
ago when I was younger) into "yuns"
