Which is why the "y'all" usage here is triggering me.

I’m from Manchester and use y’all all the time. Let’s normalise southern drawl words.

Australian y'all user checking in. It's not my fault there's no plural you in English, and the local (uncommon) variant "yous" has uneducated associations. Which, of course is unfair, but such is language and society.

Anyway, thanks y'all, I'm going to keep using it.
