Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

That's the singular. The plural is All y'all

[–] dragonflyteaparty@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Nah, y'all is a small group. All y'all is a big group.

Being from KY I am certified to speak on these matters. Y'all, 3 or less. All y'all, 4 or more.

TN here. I feel like "all y'all" has vitriol behind it. I don't think I've ever heard it from someone who wasn't angry lol. I personally use y'all for any group

[–] militaryintelligence@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good point. Maybe not vitriol but confusion. All y'all can't fit in the backseat.

Confusion works too. Negativity, I think, is the big deciding factor. Be it anger, confusion, skepticism...
