By the way; in modern English we say “You all(y’all)”, or “All of you”.

Did you know that you are Curmudgeon?

y’all

When a Yankee addressed her as ‘y’all’, my Granny would be offended, and set them straight.

One never refers to one person as ‘y’all’. It’s properly reserved for addressing two or more.

"Y'all" is NOT "modern English" at all; it is, in point of fact, a many centuries old contraction of you all...and a patois of English.

Please just give up and slink away; you came to this "fight" not just unarmed, but hobbled.
