Point of clarification please:

Are you against "yous" as well as "use" for the second person plural [or whatever it is] I think yous is perfectly acceptable and should be encouraged

Well, yeah, but I was following on from here, where a grammar matter was raised. I was wanting to keep grammar nazi stuff on this thread, where it belongs, rather than clutter up a serious brewing thread.

Cheers,

I am against "yous" "ewes" "use" and any other way you can think of to shorten the way one would address their target audience as a collective.

Yes, I am also against "y'all". The 'all' is not necessary nor is the 's'. You You're Your You'll Ute etc. These are all real words, use them freely ;)

Shorter than saying 'you'... no. But it is shorter than properly addressing the group or person.
