Where I live in 'Straya, it's one of those first examples that come up if you ask someone to think of common English mistakes.
It's a pity really; it's a useful word.
Fair enough, I only ask because where I am from (Philadelphia) it's frequently used, but I thought it was specific to my region and not widely interpreted. I figured if it were to spread or be taken out of Philadelphia it'd be taken in that connotation when classism arises (when I think of yous, I think of mafia/hitmen/crazy sports fans). It's definitely not proper, but i've been desensitized since birth to it. Thanks.

I've never been taught the difference between "y'all", "all y'all", or "ya'll", but y'all definitely looks more natural on paper than ya'll does.

Remember: "I" before "E", except after "C".
