I use y'all's occasionally, probably less often than "y'all", but it doesn't have any "lower-class connotations" to me. Y'all's's (/jAlzIz/) (same function as yours, mine, etc. - what is that called?), on the other hand, does sounds quite peculiar to me, even tho I've heard it a few times (and I think I might've even used it a few times without realizing it) -- "If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore, and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God!" - Ralph Waldo Emerson "Glassín wafilái pigasyúv táv pifyániivav nadusakyáavav sussyáiyatantu wawailáv ku suslawayástantu ku usfunufilpyasváditanva wafpatilikániv wafluwáiv suttakíi wakinakatáli tiDikáufli!" - nLáf mÁldu nÍmasun ICQ: 18656696 AIM Screen-Name: NikTailor
