I must confess, I use y'all regularly (and get mocked for it)  Interestingly

refer to good people as Sir and Ma'am all the time?  There's no good reason.

Hehe..I'm from Seattle (now in Ohio) and I say Ya'll.... of course I have a
friend from Texas and I have a tendency to pick up on other people's accents
without trying. Usually it isn't bad but when a guy from Seattle spends two
weeks around someone from Calgary and starts saying "eh?" unintentionally,
it's a bit traumitizing. *LOL*

Hey, that's not too bad... there are worse habits you can pick up from
Calgarians. <grin, duck & run>
