You guys from NW PA :) I couldn't do the ya'll even when I lived in South Carolina. I got picked on quite a bit serving tables there. One guy straight up asked me how far north of Pittsburgh I came from, that one made my jaw drop a little. I'm always amazed at how different geographic areas make people talk.
there's also a Yinz, You'ns (I'm not sure how to spell it)

Depends on the situation and who I'm talking with! At school I try to have proper yankee enunciation. LOL! At home or with friends, the ya'll comes out. Sometimes I'll specifically get "southern" on my students just to make them laugh.

At home or with friends "yall"..at work or in a professional setting "you all". Also when trying to be proper have said "your guys". I say "you guys' sometimes too. Southerner all my life.
