I’ve always wondered why y’uys didn’t become a thing where people say you guys. I grew up with y’all. It’s efficient and inclusive which is added bonus and ironic coming from the south

I grew up around Seattle and also with y'all.
Of course, a lot of people say 'you guys' and either don't care or have decided that it's gender non deterministic because ya'll is cringe and racist-coded.

East coast Canadians as well.
