Subject: RE: Lyr Req: grammatically correct use of ' y'all'
Last night on the PBS News Hour, Jim Lehrer was discussing Bush's supreme court appointment with Mark Shields and David Brooks. Normally, he asks one of them a question and then the other. He decided to direct a question to both of them and he said, "What is y'all's opinion ..."
We think that's the first time we ever heard that usage. Has anybody else heard it?
