Wisconsin Dialect

For far too long, I've been using the far more popular contraction "y'all" to refer to the second person plural. This is a vague representation of my mother's heritage in the Middle South [or the northern edge of "The South"]. But I don't really think they say "y'all" in Cincinnati. No, I think I used that contraction because I was lazy and it was easy. I also never noticed that my own dialect had a similar contraction, probably due to its underrepresentation in the general American dialect. But now, instead of "y'all", I will proudly be saying "you's" to refer to the second person plural.
