English is extremely stingy with pronouns in general; beyond singular vs plural they, there's also no proper plural you, no modern informal you (it was 'thou', but that's archaic), no exclusive vs inclusive we, and so on.
Thank you for teaching me something - I did not know that this existed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clusivity)
I don't know what y'all are talking about.
All y'all use y'all?
I love y'all, both the word and y'all. Wish it was more widely used outside of the US South.
in my dialect of English we just say "you all" or "all of you"
"You" can refer to either one person or multiple people.
And y'all only refers to multiple people. I guess it's kinda a plural "you". ;)
“You guys” is the plural form of “you” for the majority of American English-speakers in colloquial contexts.
Or "y'all", or "youse", or lots of other variants. But there's no standard, is the thing.
