      I think people would’ve felt it more natural if I wrote “all of y’all” instead, but I thought the “of” was unnecessary.

      I’m Philly and we like to say you’s guys’es instead of y’all and we’ll say all’s you’s guys’es for all y’all . And jawn for that thing that can’t remember the word for but you know what I’m talking about because of the context of what I’m saying. You’s guys’s know what I’m saying.
