		zdragnar on Dec 19, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: In Defense of Y'All "yous" (slightly different s sound) is also common among the rural older generations in German and Dutch immigrant areas. My grandma used it all the time, though not with the double plural "youse guys", just "yous"

My grandmother fit that ethnic profile, and used "yous" as well.
