alt textxkcd comic. Two stickfigures talk to each other the first says: "managing plurans is second nature to us plurals/multis, so it's easy to forget that the average being probably has one caretaker pluran for work and one or two tulpas." A line is drawn across the page, below it the text reads: We like this, so we made a version that is more inclusive to us, and hopefully others! adapted from this Please read our pronouns before addressing us |

Would this be an appropriate board to inquire on the differentiation between Yall and Yβall? Completely out of curiosity as someone from the US south, lexically itβs intriguing. |

Sure. We're not from the US, but it resonated with us, here's what we have to say: [From](https://blahaj.zone/notes/aq2sc3rp0e6l01i8)We why use "Yall" instead of "Y'all" as a pronoun. irelephant [he/him]: Hey, I saw yall's post on fedi (and a few replies beforehand), why did [yall] choose Appie. [Pronouns prns.cc/lhlfm] π΅πΈπ³οΈββ§οΈπ³οΈβππ€π€ππ: "you" for plurals [mainly us, not all] is like "guys" for [some] transfems. While you and guys can be used plurally, "you" reminds us of the singular, and "guys" reminds us of "guy". Appie are uncomfy about both irelephant [he/him]: That makes sense, what about the apostrophe though? Appie. [Pronouns prns.cc/lhlfm] π΅πΈπ³οΈββ§οΈπ³οΈβππ€π€ππ: y'all is contraction of "you all" Some beings prefer to be called "y'all" over "yall". It all comes down to pereference, which is why we highly recommend reading beings' bios before inteeacting with them! |
