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!!
