Thread Name: Lyr Req: grammatically correct use of ' y'all'?
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: grammatically correct use of ' y'all'
We use "y'all" in our noraml comversations here. However, we always use it in reference to more than one person; never singular.

Occasionally we may say something like "How're y'all doing?" to an individual, but it is understood that we are referring to the individual & whomever he is with, or his family.

Yes, we will say "all y'all" from time to time.
