Ya'll vs. Y'all - A Texan's Anguish
I have a current BST listing including the word "y'all"
Leon in a post I cannot recall used the word "ya'll" several times. Apparently this is a hot topic down in Texas. http://gaelynnwoods.blogspot.com/201...s-anguish.html In my unofficial role as an occasional operative of the Net54 grammar police, I am prepared to issue a citation to Mr. Leon Luckey, an admitted Texan. I want y'all to chime in on what the punishment should be and to be fair, who should be punished.

You can decide the punishment, but it's definitely "y'all"

Since it's a contraction for "you all", the apostrophe goes between the "y" and the "a".
You don't hear it used a lot in Brooklyn.

"Youse guys" would be classic Brooklynese.

Thanks Barry. Heading to Brooklyn this summer with my daughter, and we don't want to look like Rubes.

It's a water fountain. The ones you see at the doctor's office, or in high schools, or stadiums, etc. In Wisconsin, we call them bubblers.
We call soda pop. There are others. Those are the ones I remember off the top of my head. It's been nearly 25 years since I've lived there. Oh, and in Texas, any soda is called a Coke. Even a Pepsi, or a Dr. Pepper, which is made in Texas, I do believe.
