please note the map here as the regions considered the south here are the places labled: deep south, upper south (missouri and illinois you’re basically the midwest but i’m letting it slide. parts of oklahoma can stay bc they have good bbq), mid atlantic south, lower appalachia (im sorry but not you ohio, i have to draw a line somewhere), gulf coast, acadiana, texas (actually just all of texas), and low country. the ozarks and other appalachian regions are in a weird gray area , florida is just florida and some of these areas are basically the north to me but im going for linguistic patterns and don’t feel like hashing out cultural regions that much)
tbh this poll is currently focused on region and to honestly get the most accurate results i’d need to do several follow-ups breaking down things like ethnicity, gender, class, age, etc. (for example AAVE/AAE and dialects influenced by it are more likely to say yall regardless of region as it can be considered a dialect, ethnolect, or sociolect so is not as regionally determined) but let’s see how this goes first. the research designer in me is suffering bc of how broad this is but i honestly doubt yall would wanna fill out a google form for an internet stranger with no IRB and is really only doing this out of curiosity.
as someone from the “deep south,” even when i mask my accent i still can’t imagine not using y’all regularly. i feel like the word has become more prevalent as it kinda fills a linguistic gap but i want some yummy yummy data. if i missed something or you would like to elaborate on your specific region pls feel free to explain

Okay I’m having thoughts about Murderbot and mutual administrative assistants again.
Cause like. The most frequent interpretation is that MB rejects ‘relationship’/‘friendship’ because it’s too personal/implies too much familiarity and administrative assistant is less of that. And like. Yeah, that’s a fair read.
But also. Consider what an admin really *is* and then apply it to people with computer brains. Like. Have we considered that it is actually MORE intense?
