Sunny, I don't recall being taught the "3 or more" rule when I was growing up -- insofar as I did -- in East Texas. "Y'all" covered all numbers over one. On the other hand, someone might say "All y'all" to a particularly large group, I suppose. Or maybe my antique head is letting these memories slip through the cracks ...
Actually, it means You All...Strange- but there IS a difference.
ReplyDelete1 person = You
2 people = Y'all
3 or more ppl= All Y'all.
Aint you from Texas, Michael? Lawd, I just reckon you need to visit your sweet mama more often.

And I love how those shirts have been pre-filled.
