      people like Ellis use y'all to be gender inclusive, as alternative to you guys.
      Europeans do it too. It is not going to stop so die mad about it y'all.
      Adopting language is not patronizing, you're just overly sensitive.

        But what necessitates 'y'all' over 'you' here? "You're exhausting" serves the same purpose since 'you' can be singular or plural. The use of y'all here is an affect.

          When using language dispassionatly people naturally select words so as to reduce ambiguity.
          "y'all are exhausting" and "you're exhausting" have significantly different meanings.
          Policing language on details like this is tedious and boring.
