@Thomas@laserdisc.party And "all y'all" is the perfect emphatic plural.

@auntiekiki@wandering.shop @Thomas@laserdisc.party a small subculture where I grew up embraced y’all as a way to get past ‘you guys’ exclusivity, and it honestly changed so much about my perception of pronouns in general. The answer to “do they matter” is a very clear “maybe”, but when they matter they matter so why wouldn’t you clean them up? Y’all is *perfect* and sounds like what it means so even those new to English get it. I also use ‘folks’ a lot, which technically is different but very welcoming and relatable.
