yall, youse, youguys...

I wonder if in fifty years English will have the same dialectal differenc=
es
in the second person plural Spanish has in the secon person singular.

Let's say _yall_ in Southern US, _yous_ in Northwestern US, _you guys_ in
many other parts of the English speaking world...

Kind of our _t=FA_, _vos_, _usted_, _sumerc=E9_ differences in the Spanis=
h
speaking world.
