12. I grew up with the Appalachian "y'ins"
|
My maternal grandfolks always used "y'all". My mom and paternal grandmother (who was the only college-educated female I knew growing up) insisted that we knew what "standard" English was. It was quite fine to keep our southern accent (I have stubbornly clung to mine) but standard construction and grammar were the yardsticks in her house.
PS: My neighbors and I still inquire as to the well-being of "yermamanem".

I've been up here a while, so I can use Y'all in the same sentence as wicked. I get some looks from it.
