"all y'all" is the plural. "y'all" sits in a very odd position, and is somewhat like "we" in that way. And it's used quite often in various regions, but the closer you get to any city, even in the south, the less you'll hear it. -Adam -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
