MODERATORS
Do we have yous/youse? According to my understanding that's technically not a real word yet, it's slang.
2nd person singular used to be thou/thee back in the middle ages, but it all eventually melded into you.
I feel like y'all is the newer American version of 2nd person plural, while yous/youse/yinz are the non-American English counterparts.
I have always used you guys in a gender neutral manner historically, but people occasionally got offended by that. So I started using y'all several years ago and it's been going pretty good. Although I did initially spell it like ya'll until someone corrected me on reddit ๐
