I'm just happy to see Americans using the correct "you're" at this point.

Shouldn't the Americanized version of "you're" be spelled "yo'r"?

Hmm... Curious. 🤔

Edit: Didn't think I needed to state that this was a joke. I was simultaneously playing on the Colour → Color and Centre → Center. It wasn't that deep...

Ya'll depending on the state.

EDIT: Thank you all for the grammar lessons. Seriously. I actually do enjoy learning about stuff like this!

The word "Y'all'd'nt've" ("You all should not have") is used where I live with no sense of irony. Your friends do you a favor, and it's a natural reaction.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 11 hours ago

Or y'alls, which could mean either your or you're depending.

"Y'alls dog got out again," or

"Y'alls really tryin mah patience"

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 3 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

Y'all is "you all", the contraction occurs directly after the y.

The translation for this sign would be "y'all ain't lonesome".
