Thanks for pointing out my "y'all" typo -- fixed. I just don't like the way "y'all" rolls off the tongue, and never enjoyed using it. But, as you say, there has to be SOME second person plural. I just like the way "yinz" sounds, I guess. /shrug

Actually, 'you' is the second person plural in English. If you want a singular, you'll need to recover 'thou' from history's dumpster.

[nothrabannosir]

It was. Language evolves.

If you want to be different you could always try out the Aussie version.. 'youse'

[smcl]

Oh that's cool, I didn't know it was in use outside Scotland. I'd always pegged yous/youse as a Scots thing

[GeneralTspoon]

In Ireland, a lot of people people use 'ye' as the second person plural. Mostly in areas outside of Dublin.

In Dublin, the slang variant is either 'yiz' or 'yous'

[tankenmate]

Yous or youse is the naive synthetic pluralisation of the singular you (in the analytical form both are you).
