If you say “y’all” or “ain’t” in my presence, you’re automatically stupid as hell.

Agreed. 

I’m originally from Gaston County, North Carolina, which is RIGHT IN THE FUCKING MIDDLE OF THE BIBLEBELTED SWEET TEA DRINKING FUCKHOLE, and I said it all of my life up until I moved to the coast. Nobody says it unless they want to get beat up. 

Fucking.

Thank.

You.

It’s like, I hear it at home, and I hate it. If I’m calling for people, I say “hey you guys” or “hey guys”, but “ya’ll” is like…wat?

It pisses me off to no end.

Oh wow I wonder how it would feel to be as sophisticated as you are! How intelligent and classy!

I wish someone had just told me how much of a bumpkin I was, and am, because I learned to speak in local dialect! If only I, too, had been fortunate enough to live on the coast, where evidently I could have been curbed of my shameful habit by roaming bands of people who would “beat me up” for saying “y’all”! Astonishing! Perhaps a tour of the “coast” (would love to know which) would help me become acquainted with a better, more acceptable American English.

I was so ashamed by your shrewd linguistic analysis (“but “ya’ll” is like…wat?”) that I decided to quickly gather some information on the extent of this awful social problem. Luckily, Wikimedia provided a map of the areas where the phrase “y’all” is especially common.

So we could really grasp the scope of this issue, I did a quick search of the populations of these contraction-blighted areas. The results are grim. A full 25% of the US population is need of serious linguistic intervention, and fast!

These figures aren’t good. With 25% percent of the US population admitted “y’all”-sayers, you have your work cut out for you: it will take quite a bit of time to cure the ignorance of 77,441,911 people! You have quite a lot of educating to do. However, I’m confident that with your help we can learn to curb our ways and quit being such moronic shitstains!

^^^^ GOD BLESS YOU

what kind of cunt is this OP seriously

>assuming someone is dumb for the way they talk

are you retarded or something.

Well those guys ain’t friendly at all

y’all is like the closest english has for a plural 2nd person pronoun (like vosotros, in spanish) so bite my ass

its certainly not any worse than “youse guys”

The thing is, every language, especially English, has a formal and informal dialect, which often changes regionally. It has no real bearing on intelligence, except for when it’s used in an improper section, which even then it isn’t necessarily true. 

An informal dialect is required for language to be accessible to everyone. So people really need to climb off their high horses.  

i love how op and their friend are just rolling around in their own shit and pretending they’re higher than learning from making a mistake

just cause you’re ashamed of being from somewhere fine doesn’t mean you should make everyone else feel ashamed 

I say “ya’ll” once in a while. I mean, seriously, I live in Birmingham, Alabama. If I’m stupid for casually abbreviating a commonly used word then wtf. It’s not even improper really. By this ridiculous standard, contractions shouldn’t exist. Honestly, people.
