I'm from Philly and I sometimes say "y'all" ....but usually only online b/c it's shorter. I picked it up when my family went to TN to visit a friend of my Father's - started saying it as a joke and it kinda stuck.

Oh well, it's better, in my opinion, than the standard Philly/Jersey "Yous" :mad:

ONly ones that don't is them ther yankee's! Its pretty much common place to hear y'all in the south. The northern part of the country is more like "you guys"! Don't have a clue what they say out on the left coast.......but hearing a person say y'all if up north usually means they have at least spent some time n the south or are a former southerner.....

IDK, I say ya'll ALL the time, and I only go to Florida once every two years to see my grandparents. I have never lived there. I say it all the time and I live in Michigan! And I have lived there all my life!

My dad said somewhere around 3 or 4 hours. We live in Pitt County if that helps.
