I actually have been using y'all in this manner for about a decade. I found some women didn't appreciate being called "you guys" when I addressed a group of people.
If y'all spent as much time and energy on useless pronouns as y'all spent on advocating for universal healthcare, y'all could have gotten that last doctor visit paid for by y'alls gob'ment and not having to dip into y'alls savings.
Y'all need to check your priorities.
I find it’s also singular and plural.
You lot? I use you lot in place of y'all, because I can't bring myself to contract you and all together.
Checkmate, nobody
The definition of woke: “the belief there are systemic injustices in American society and the need to address them.”
-Ron DeSantis chief counsel
Anyone that would argue woke is bad is a racist, sexist, bigot
Shit, if ungendered pronouns make it woke, then I should ditch my native language.
English is the wokest language. In Spanish, all nouns are gendered. That means when Trump wanted to build a wall, he was actually being woke AF.
OK then when you get out of the shower you go
oh, duh, only third person singular pronouns are ever gendered in English. why would I ever think a second person pronoun would be gendered?
