Ah, but that's the point -- you generous southern folk have given English a 
perfectly good second person plural pronoun, and I don't see why we shouldn't 
all be using it.  Heck, the best we've come up with up here is the New York 
"youse," and the Pittsburgh "yinz," which makes me want an Iron City every 
time I hear it.
