[Rhodes22-list] Reply on Art and Rummy erroneous reading

[Joseph Hadzima]

I think "y'all" is singular, and "all y'all" is the plural - Or is that only in New Orleans?

Ed, The problem of the singular or plural 'you' is
handled nicely by New Yawkers with 'youse guys,' by
mountain folk with 'y'uns' and by southerners with
their 'y'all.'
Perhaps one (or all) of those will be a good addition
to your lexicon. ;^)
