In a previous post, I commented on how the plural of "Y'all" is "All Y'all".
A true Texan and native speaker, JW, has corrected me.
Singular: Y'all
Plural: All Y'alls
example-
Singular: Y'all can kiss my ass.
plural: All of Y'alls can kiss my asses.

I'm a purebreed Texan and I prefer 'all y'all'. I'm sticking with it too.
ReplyDeleteWow - I just learned how to see the comments! How exciting!!
ReplyDeleteThis all y'all vs alls y'allls (plural), all y'all's (plural pssessive) and y'all's (singular possessive) debate has gotten stormy. I have gotten a barrage of emails, and nobody is in agreement. What IS grammatically correct??
Just so long as you don't spell it "ya'll" as some are wont to do....
