I'm not one for inspecting people's language choices and I'm not even from the US, so I don't have a dog in this race... but goddamn, libs using y'all annoys me to no end
Edit: I should have been clearer here. There's lots of varieties of US English which use y'all and that's obviously natural, it's just that I've seen lots of wannabe DC staffer coastal lib types using it in a way that feels kinda condescending and annoying
It's a normal part of speech in like half of statesian dialects, including AAVE
Having grown up with it I honestly think it's weirder not to have a gender-neutral second-person pleural pronoun.
