Hey Y'all


 
I spent a whole day with clients showing multiple homes.  As I was driving away from the last appointment, suddenly I realized that I had used the word Y'all , numerous  times.  Now living in the South, Y'all is considered the norm.  With that being said, I wondered, Did I sound less intelligent or just another southern girl? I also wondered, If I would have choose “ you guys” or “the both of you” ,would I have gotten strange looks? 

Honestly, the word Y'all is buried so deep in my everyday language, that it would probably be impossible to change!

I did get several laughs on my ride home thinking about how many times I have used this word with all my clients.

Here is Wikipedia’s explanation of Y'all: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y'all

So what is Y'alls thought?  Y'all is acceptable and the norm in the South or should professionals pick a better term?

Y'all have a good day now!!
