My informant now tells me that she is a life-long resident of the South. I
don't know her age or race. She writes:
[I was] born and raised in the South. If you could hear me, you would
know. I’m all about the proper use of ya’ll.
Sometimes I just pander to the Yankees and use “you guys.” Can’t bring
myself to say, “Youse guys.”
