The plural form of you (yes, a grammar thread)

Sometimes on a board there seems to be an inside joke going on that has started elsewhere... Well, in the time that our Buzz has been down this sorta happened thru Twitter when I used the southern version of the plural of the word "you" in relation to the Wimmin of The Atlanta Dungeon. Mistress UV hates that word and banned me from using it

Considering I was 1) within Their control at the time (specifically Mistress Ayn, Goddess Samantha & Mistress UV) & 2) was told that I had to get specific permission from each of them before I was to be allowed to release after being in unlocked chastity for three weeks, during which time I had sessioned with all three of them plus both Mistress Vera Virgo & Mistress Ming (my reviews of Goddess Samantha and Mistress Vera are of those sessions) PLUS was being forced to spend 10 minutes edging to videos that featured at least two of them twice a day at aynrules.com, this had the force of law.

Of course, this prohibition didn't stop when both me and what had built in my balls was finally released since Mistres UV will have plenty of opportunities to punish a transgression of the rule in the future (and apparently Mistress Ayn is just a big tatletale). So, I then utilized "You Gals" as the plural form of You instead and was more than glad that 700 miles separates me from Mistress Ayn when She read that. So.,. Another plural form of the word You was banned from my use when speaking with the Sisters of the Atlanta Dungeon.

My grammar question to the board is therefore what should be the proper plural form of You that I can use when referring to a group of people (specifically, a group of people around the Sisters cause I still use the banned word all the time since IMO it IS the best form even if Mistress UV doesn't like it for Her own reasons)?

It is, was, and always shall be "you."

Y'all should make it clear in context whether you're talking to an individual or a group.

Thanks, but unfortunately that is the banned word that I can't use

I was only joking there about "Y'all." What I said, and meant, was that "you" is correct for both singular and plural. Make it clear in context whether you're talking to a single person or a group.

I think that is one of the largest failings of the English language since context isn't always easily established or even maintained with a statement. Which is why people in different parts of the country utilize different words, or "you" plus anither word such as "all", "guys", "people", etc... to make up for this failing.

*snort*

I really hope someone is able to help you out with this because you seem to keep digging that hole . . . and I am really concerned for you because your travels will be taking you into the Lionesses' Den soon.

If you speak like an Italian gangster you can just say "Yous/Youse" and it wouldn't sound odd.

Awww... You know You love me Mistress Ayn

Not so sure about Mistress UV and what She is gonna do regarding Her grammar demands, however....

Yea... Dose is valid, but I feel da same way bout dem as Mistress UV feels bout de udder..

This 25-question dialect quiz from the New York Times will determine where you come from based on words you use. It's pretty clever. If you use "y'all" you can always say that it's because of where you grew up - and the NY Times says so.

1) i didn't grow up in the south, so i can't use that

2) Mistress Ultra Violet doesn't give a rat's butt where i grew up, or what the New York Times says about it, She will still start with castration and then move onto "real punishment" if i use it around Her

But i really do thank you for the suggestion Oww,..
