So hey I just got back from Tennessee. Howdy all? Sweet. Are you going to say that now? Like that's you know how like you ever know those people in your life that like they go to you know say England or something like some country and then they come back and they have

kind of a half accent like forever after that point I got to tell you the lift at the

hotel was extremely slow I was very I was very sad about it you're're going to break John. I know John is going to...

Don't they say howdy in Tennessee? Is that a howdy state? I don't even know to be honest with you.

Texas seems like a howdy state. It's definitely a yaw state. I mean I'm in a yall state so who am I to really throw stones on that issue?

So I honestly I kind of wish I was in a y'all state because it's the best.

Like the the second person plural is extremely useful and the rest of English doesn't really you know we just have you and you I think y'all map I think it's spreading I think I need to see a y'all map I think it's spreading I don't think it's south only anymore I hear it I hear it a lot around here I used it myself a lot at work I heard it a lot at work my joby jobs yeah I cannot

fathom like unironically not trying to do like it just I think it is it's not

common but I think it's spreading I am here for you mr. John Syracuse was saying y'all like that that warms my

I'm sure I have I'm sure I have said it on the show and I bet you two didn't even bat an eye at it

well I certainly wouldn't so used to hearing it like I didn't say it with a southern accent I just I think you're required to say it with a little bit of a southern accent though like when you like I feel like I mean for the service it provides is wonderful and I thank the South

because like you know as as we have become a little bit more aware of inclusion

and you know trying to get rid of gendered phrases like guys you know to refer to just general

people hey guys you know like we're trying to drop that and replace it with something

more neutral and you see like what options exist in the language and there's not a

lot of good options out there you know there's like some some politicians have used like folks you know hey folks

you know folks you know I like that one I use the one myself too I think it's great I

don't like that one so much it's very folksy yeah well yeah and that's that's fine sometimes but that's not that's not

not that's not always appropriate but I feel like if you're in a y'all region yall is

pretty much always usable like there's not really any context in which it would feel weird or impart any additional

meaning that you wouldn't intend the way folks kind of does.

So I feel like yaw is a far superior work.
