      I'm coming around to it, but people who love it on this site don't realize it has a lot of a class connotations in the south. If you have a southern accent, you spend years excising it from your vocabulary so people don't think you're a dumb hick.https://twitter.com/Snarls_Dickens/status/1305465143388766209 …

      Elizabeth Spiers added,

      John MacNeill Miller @Snarls_Dickens
      The reason people keep saying “‘Y’all’ is the perfect gender-neutral plural pronoun” on here is because it’s the perfect twitter comment. It’s (a.) admirably inclusive, (b.) seemingly casual/democratic, & (c.) subtly aggressive in insisting most people alter engrained habits

      So it's a little jarring to hear people who grew up in, like, Palo Alto, and went to college at Amherst or whatever say it. You can deploy it with no repercussions if it's not also paired with a redneck-y Southern accent.

          FWIW, SoCal raised and educated, picked up y'all when I was working food service in LA (where "you guys" was the norm). Then I moved to Memphis, where y'all is the norm. Been here 18 years, it's a base part of my vocab, and the gender-neutrality is a positive.

          And per my argument, you don't have a southern accent and will not be judged for it.
