I spent my 1st 4 years in Florida, guess that's where I learned to talk right. I don't have an accent until I go back or talk to my uncle on the phone. Then it comes back immediately. It drives my wife nuts (she is from Seattle). I use the word coke even for orange soda.
Let's see... You all must be mid west, Youse maybe Chicago or Brooklyn, You'uns sounds to me like northeasters, and y'all is definitely deep south.

The only people I've ever known to use "Youse" are New Jerseyites and New Yorkers.
I've never heard you'uns...so not in this part of the Northeast. Mostly "you guys", which wasn't a choice.
