The most Texan of all expressions - Y'All - is ungendered and therefore woke (ttrpg.network)

Everyone gets y'all. It fills the dumb gap in English where the plural of you is you. Now if we could only get a singular neutral 3rd for people that isn't also the plural.

E: Or we could start pronouncing They singular like latchkey, for a thee sound. So we can get fun words like they's (thees). It will also make English even more confusing for newbies. What's not to love?

If the plural of goose is geese, then the plural of moose is meese.

I approve of this message, are y'all with me?
