4/22/04: Second person plural

From "How to be a Texan" on Texas Trifles, the coolest writey-type weblog I've seen in a while -

Before we begin, I must clarify, sanctify, and preachify about the southern word "yawl". When we say "yawl come" to someone we mean the whole family, when we say "do yawl have really cold northers?" we are talking about the whole town. You never go up to a single person and ask "do yawl have a beer?" cause you ain't askin' the world for a brewsky, only one person. You gotta know your conjugations, cowboy. And word to the wise, we never, ever say "you all". Mebbe "yew" but never "you all". That's Yankee for yawl (with many pardons to my very favorite up north friends !!) [Here.]

Without a doubt, perusing these fine posts is definitely going to save my ass where I'm going.
