I go out of my way to say "y'all" in official communication with my customers. 'Round these parts (the American Gulf South) we keep it real folksy-like.

I am not familiar enough with USA proticals so I am happy to concede, I thought the term was quite disrespectful! If you say otherwise I bow without hesitation. But I'm a Cockney geezer from East Lahndon Town but I'm not sure I would ever call my clients a slang term or tell them where the rub a dub is. But maybe..I should!

To be fair he probably started with "You peasants" then changed it.

To be fair he probably started with "You peasants" then changed it. Honestly, this is it seems a cultural thing here. "Y'all" in all the instances I have ever seen used always seems to be framed in negative connotations as a dismissive term followed by a putdown/lecture but it is not used in any real context in my country so my assumptions are skewed. It always seemed to framed in disrespect but that just seems to be my ignorance.

It's not disrespectful, it's just a colloquialism for "you all." It's certainly informal, but it isn't inherently offensive. Maaaaaaaybe similar to the Spanish "vosotros" conjugation?**not a native Spanish speaker lolI would have expected a Yankee from the northeast to have said "yous guys" maybe though.

shardwick said: @DAZ0273 The main use of y'all is just an easier way of saying "you all." I'm from Texas so saying y'all is about as normal as a Brit saying something like bloody hell. Oddly enough because of the internet I say stuff like "you guys" a lot more and I've gotten Canadian friends to say y'all. bluewolf said: Y'all sure diverted this thread from the original topic. Y'all stop spendin' now, ya hear?
