You mean like in I’d, you’d, we’d, he’d, or she’d? I’m pretty sure it’s always “would.”
maybe if you’d’ve thought about it a little longer it wouldn’t’ve confused you so much
And all my friends from The South make a Harshwhinny Face any time they hear a character onscreen using it incorrectly, so I guess our unscientific anecdotal examples cancel each other out. Using it as a singular pronoun is still incorrect, and mostly persists thanks to Yankees.
Strictly speaking it dropped the singular forms though/thee/thine and adopted you/your as a universal second person pronoun. Replacements keep popping up; maybe one will stick, but who knows?
Friend from Arkansas says that y’all is used as the singular all the time there and that all y’all need to respect that.
why do people even like to use this word
Because the English Language forgot to adopt a plural form of “you” the way most languages did, and contractions are easier to say/write than the multiple words they replace.
Maybe Texas has better grammar or something, but speaking from experience, people in the southeast absolutely do use “y’all” as a singular pronoun in regular conversation.
13 years deep in rural coon-hunting Texas and I still don’t get it
I know it’s to the northeast of here, and that’s the direction Yankees come from, which is just one of many reasons I don’t trust The South.
…You’re both completely full-a beans anyway, because no, places where people say “y’all” in regular conversation are not places where people are dumb enough to use it incorrectly as a singular pronoun; that’s somethin’ only Yankees and midwesterners do. And Canadians, I guess, the show gets it wrong a lot as well.
But at least he’s right that you don’t know anything about the South.
You’re funny, but not for the reasons you think you’re funny.
Feel free to argue with the legions of Southerners who use the terms as I’ve described and see how far you get; otherwise, shut yer Yankee trap
Y’all is a contraction of “you all”; it is expressly and exclusively for addressing either a group or an individual as a representative of a group. “All y’all” indicates that all memebers of a group are included in the address, even those who are not physically present.
Do kindly pardon me but yeah y’all do. Ta call on e’ryone is “all y’all”.
Do it make sense? Ain’t hardly no more likely than a pig wipes his behind, but remember just what di-a-lect y’all talkin’ ’bout. Them grammar rules makes ‘bout as much sense ta Suthe’n reason as Chinese, and them Chinese do everythang backwards they do.
If ya knows what I meant than I done said it right tell ya what.
