Subject: RE: BS: American English usages taking over Brit
As a midwest American, two weeks shy of 83 years, I can tell you that I've NEVER heard "Yo" used in general speech, other than in the US Army in 1953, '54, and '55, and then only as a response at roll call or mail call, as in, "Smith!"--"Yo!" (meaning, roughly, "Here I am!")
