Thread Name: Lyr Req: grammatically correct use of ' y'all'?
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: grammatically correct use of ' y'all'
Arkie, it was suggested to me, once, by a very kindly gentleman, to say "You folks" instead of "you guys," the latter being what I grew up saying, mostly. So...I have tried to do so ever since, as it made sense to me.:-)


This was interesting about "she": [Middle English, probably alteration of Old English so, feminine demonstrative pron.. See so- in Indo-European Roots.]
