Since when did we all become ‘you guys’?

Southern manners and Southern hospitality

A letter to the editor in today’s FLS:

‘What can I get for you guys?’ ‘Anything else for you guys?’ What’s with the use of these terms in even the nicest stores and restaurants in town? Sure, our generation still looks ‘hip,’ but it doesn’t mean we want to be addressed as if we’re everybody’s good buddies.

Welcome to the South, ma’am. And it’s pronounced y’all. For plural, it’s all y’all.

Nice to see that Southern hospitality still reigns in Virginia.
