CHAT: long streets (and 2pl pronouns)

A fellow Coloradoan!  Greetings from Loveland.  I'd never heard of Colfax
being the longest street in the world, although when I went to Toronto
they bragged about Yonge street quite a bit.  Perhaps its because Colfax
has always been famous for some more unsavory activities in my mind . . .
. BTW, my experience with Canada was entirely positive.  Much to my
surprise, if you step onto a street to cross in Toronto, the cars will
generally stop *for* you, instead of forcing you to scamper to the
opposite sidewalk like a two-legged deer.

Someone else mentioned that they use "y'all" as a 2pl pronoun on the
Internet.  Around here, the standard form of plural address is "you
guys", which sounds like monosyllabic [jGaiz] in fast speech.  If you
said "y'all" you'd be made fun of.  Anyway, I'd be curious to see what
other conventions people around the English-speaking world use.
