Agreed.
I’m originally from Gaston County, North Carolina, which is RIGHT IN THE FUCKING MIDDLE OF THE BIBLEBELTED SWEET TEA DRINKING FUCKHOLE, and I said it all of my life up until I moved to the coast. Nobody says it unless they want to get beat up.
Fucking.
Thank.
You.
It’s like, I hear it at home, and I hate it. If I’m calling for people, I say “hey you guys” or “hey guys”, but “ya’ll” is like…wat?
It pisses me off to no end.
Oh wow I wonder how it would feel to be as sophisticated as you are! How intelligent and classy!
I wish someone had just told me how much of a bumpkin I was, and am, because I learned to speak in local dialect! If only I, too, had been fortunate enough to live on the coast, where evidently I could have been curbed of my shameful habit by roaming bands of people who would “beat me up” for saying “y’all”! Astonishing! Perhaps a tour of the “coast” (would love to know which) would help me become acquainted with a better, more acceptable American English.
I was so ashamed by your shrewd linguistic analysis (“but “ya’ll” is like…wat?”) that I decided to quickly gather some information on the extent of this awful social problem. Luckily, Wikimedia provided a map of the areas where the phrase “y’all” is especially common.
So we could really grasp the scope of this issue, I did a quick search of the populations of these contraction-blighted areas. The results are grim. A full 25% of the US population is need of serious linguistic intervention, and fast!
These figures aren’t good. With 25% percent of the US population admitted “y’all”-sayers, you have your work cut out for you: it will take quite a bit of time to cure the ignorance of 77,411,911 people! You have quite a lot of educating to do. However, I’m confident that with your help we can learn to curb our ways and quit being such moronic shitstains!

What y’all need to realize is that using those phrases doesn’t mean someone is “stupid as hell”. It just means it’s something they like to say. Y’all are no better than the judgmental assholes who think swearing shows a lack of intelligence. If you don’t like how I talk, that ain’t my problem.
I can’t even with this OP, seriously, way to throw a massive amount of people under the stupid bus for saying two damn words.
Kindly fuck off.
I didn’t even know saying y’all or ain’t was even that big of a deal tho lol.
Fuck you OP. Maybe I would understand if English had one standard word for the second person plural like Spanish(And vosotros isn’t even used in a lot of Spanish speaking countries because Spanish, like most languages, HAS REGIONAL DIALECTS), but it doesn’t, and even then I would probably still think you were an asshole.
Fuck you I will use my god damn accent if I damn well please. I think those words are cute and if you don’t agree, well, y’all can just not speak to me. Strangely it ain’t difficult to do.
