Post by aimee2180 »

This is to all those who didn't grow up in the South: do you now find yourself saying "alls", instead of "all" (as in "alls you got to do")? Just wondering... it seems like a couple of months down south would do that to you! I keep catching my b/f saying that, and he grew up in Chicago and San Francisco!
It's just sorta funny hearing it here in Michigan. We're definitely too far north for it! :)

I think the proper usage is Y'all, and All Y'all's, as in "I've got all y'all's number". Or better yet, I'm fixin ta git all y'all's number. :lol:
