If anyone can find more pixels for me i would appreciate it.
Thanks y'all.
We are afraid to use common greetings now? How about we all refer to each other as "carbon units"?

We need a better second person plural in English. Y'all works but its a big language gap

Having exported myself from the deep South to Yankee land, "Y'all have a good one!" never fails to brighten the day of someone working a cash register.
In general, folks up here really like southern politeness. They think sugar wouldn't melt in my mouth. I get stopped in stores to talk all the time. Pretty frequently, they just give me a discount. I thought Yankees were supposed to be rude, but they're actually really nice in public.
Trust me there are many more areas that say y'all

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
Am I the only one who actually looked for more pixels for this guy?
Anywho, here you go my guy:
Edit: hmmm, Lemmy seems to be compressing it. Here's a link.
I bought a shirt once in Pittsburgh that says, “Yinz is a gender-neutral p pronoun”
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.
Fwiw, second person is fine as long as there's no misgendering... It's like calling someone by their name
As a non-english speaker, I appreciate «Y'all» 'cause it always bug me the absence of a way to reference more than one individual in English.
What you mean «You» is used to reference both one person and a crowd? English is fuck up.
There are pride buttons that say Y'all means all.
