how many people on here say "ya'll"?

Question

i was just wondering how many people say "ya'll" because it's kind of annoying! i mean, you can say "ya'll" in real life, but why do you have to type it in your questions and answers?

Answer 1

i was wondering the same thing! i find it annoying, also!!! but i think it's because they think they're cool, or they're from texas...but its not cool (even if you are from texas!!!!!)

Answer 2

okay, so, like, ya'll are really gonna, like, my answer. See ya'll is that part of my speaking, and speech that gets me compliments. Just the other day these two people complimented me on my accent. I asked what accent? That southern drawl. Oh come on I thought I had that cajun accent but oh well.
You must have been checking out my answers.

Now Ya'll take care.
Luv Ya'll from down here in the south.

And I guess one of your next questions will be "how many people on here say "like"?

Answer 3

Does it depend on the topics because I did not find any ya'll in the groups I visit..

Answer 4

You mean "y'all," right?

I sometimes type "y'all," in on-line forums such as this because of my two years spent living in Georgia when I was growing up. It's a conversational habit that I picked up many years ago that I choose to employ in my writing.

I think it's a colorful contraction, actually. It reminds me of my youth and that conjures memories of what I did then.

I won't apologize for using it, however, and if you think less of me then that's your problem not mine.

I'm a well-educated person, but there's plenty of room in my writing for such colloquialisms as "y'all."

Personally, I'm bothered more by people who fail to capitalize letters and who use text message abbreviations in their writing.

Wait a minute, YOU don't capitalize certain letters in YOUR writing.

Why I oughta....
