minus-square@pythonoob@programming.devlinkfedilink8•edit-22 years agoY’all is exclusive. All y’all is inclusive. If I walk into a party in a house and a group of my friends are there and I say ‘what are y’all doing here?’, I’m only talking to my friends. If I walk into my own house and there’s a party there and I say ‘what are all y’all doing here?’ I’m addressing everyone of the hoodlums in my house.

minus-squareArt35ianlinkfedilink13•edit-22 years agoWe’re very inclusive in Australia also. ‘G’day you bunch of cunts’ means hello to everyone male, female, known and unknown. We’re very polite over here.
minus-square@pythonoob@programming.devlinkfedilink2•2 years agoHow very nice of all you cunts over there

minus-square@chakan2@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish13•2 years agoI was one of the downvotes. Clusivity, as described in your article does not apply to y’all. It’s You All…it will never include the speaker. It’d have to be something like w’all to apply.
