I think I'll stick to y'all. Yinz just doesn't feel natural ... :? but it's nice to learn a new regionalism.

Ooo exciting I wonder what's next?
Come faeries take me out of this dull world. For I would ride with you upon the wind and dance upon the mountains like a flame. - W B Yeats

May you touch dragonflies and stars, dance with faeries and talk to the moon. - Unknown

Well Piisburgh was the melting pot of the country way back when and most of the workers where Scotts, Irish, ScottsIrish (northern Ireland), and blacks mainly from the south. Well Scottish english had the most influence, so we have language that we make into our own. Yinz was Yunz,Youins and evently Yinz. We say pop, gum bands, red up and not so much but, "I be going now." I still use "I be" but not so much anymore. You mainly heard around Pittsburgh city cuz of all the mills that where.

The reason why it actually turned to yinz was do to an early morning rock show on radio. Scott Paulson and Jimmy Krenz where the ones to make the dialect become more color with a wee bit of heaviness added to the accents. We also used words like nebby which meant nosey. but a later morning disc jockey after scott left kept using it the wrong way. the line is "Don't get nebby with me" which makes no sense at all. so he must be using it as don 't get smart with me.

I love how language evolves.
