ye or ya'll

[Filidh]

for a single word representing the mostly-forgotten second-person-plural, which one do you prefer? or do you prefer another? it's necessary to eliminate confusion that arises from using 'you' as singular and plural.

i've taken to using ya'll, but i'm considering reintegrating 'ye' into my commonspeech instead.

just wondering what ya'll think about it?

As a northerner and an Englishman, I use Yi'ol.


I know older people who use "tha".

C'mon, now. All Yankees know that the plural of you is youse!
