Time for me to pipe up... > Poser. He's not "southern" he's "redneck". How accurately observed. A Southerner will have an accent, but what he says will be grammatically correct (within acceptable margin of error) and quite possibly intelligent. A Redneck will have a similar accent, but what he says is likely to be grammatically horrifying and carry little literary value.
Before anyone jumps down my throat about bigotry, let me clarify that this is intentionally focusing on the use of "redneck" as a derogatory term. I'm not talking about who fits into the description, but the description itself. > > > According to Foxworthy, "all y'all" is plural and "all y'all's" > is plural > > posessive. > > There's absolutely no need for "all y'all" since "y'all" is NEVER EVER > singular. It is always plural. A-MEN!* heh. And for the love of Pete (though I don't believe I've seen anyone make this mistake in this thread, I just mention it as a pet peeve of mine) it's y'all, and not ya'll. You + all. Not ya + all. * Actually there is a use for "all y'all," just as there is a use for "all of you." It's used to indicate an entire collection versus a subset. Such as, "y'all over there can carry your luggage, y'all over here can check yours, but all y'all are gonna have to take your shoes off." Heh.
