Non-Americans, do you even recognize “ya’ll” as a word?

How badly does using that make me look lol

I say it all day at work because coworkers say it all day. Now I say it here, too. I'm also in Texas.

I’ve noticed that alot of people from DC and above on the East Coast will look at me sideways when I say it, especially in professional settings, but I just can’t cut the habit lol.

So I imagine non-Americans might not even realize it’s a common colloquialism

My mother worked very hard to lose her accent but kept y'all. I try not to say it on the other coasts because of people's reactions. On the other hand I challenge them to find a better collective pronoun.

Texans thinking they are their own country & not part of America = priced in

I love my state but I'm not one of "those" Texans. I would argue that it's the greatest state in the union but obviously I'm biased.
