You must have known this was coming!!!!!!! I must defend the good
folks of Georgia (one being myself, born and raised). I have never
uttered the phrase you'uns, nor have I ever conversed with anyone who
uses this term. "Ya'll" on the other hand is a perfectly usable word.
I use it with a certain amount of pride, and will continue to, even if
some of my northern associates slight me for it. So remember PLEASE,
not every person from the south uses such jargon, and a few of us even
have an education...... (All in good humor, of course!!!!!!!)

People here in Vermont say "Dang it" so it can't be too southern..

Now if you had said "you'uns" .. The people from Ga that lived near my
brother in Tn last year always used that word. Drove me nuts. Y'all I
can deal with,-in-least that's made of real words, but you'uns? I
refuse to say it out loud. Ranks up there with racial slurs in my
mind.. I feel dirty for having typed it! :-)
