 @420f26f4 @a6e025da I knew someone who wasn’t anywhere near southern, but used “you all.” She would pronounce it very distinctly “You. All.”’I was never sure whether that to avoid being accused of cultural appropriation, or to avoid misleading people into thinking she was southern.

Y'all can be urban too, honestly. Most people I knew growing up in St. Louis who said it were black. Think Nelly.
