    I say anyways a lot, but the rest Ive never used as such. However, you say Tomato, I say Tomahto. I pronounce Mango Mahhhhngo so, I don't judge by peoples accents. As long as they can spell. And if they can't, they are stupid anyways.Superhero!

    I CAN NOT STAND WHEN PEOPLE SAY "NU-CU-LAR" because I think they sound ignorant. It's right up there with ya'll. UGH! But, I must admit that I do say often WITH THE T.

    I'm from Texas, so no matter how hard I try, "y'all" passes through my lips on a somewhat regular basis. I mouthwash with paint thinner after every occurrence.

    Oh yeah the Texans do say it, a lot. But at least you don't live in TN, that place is a hicksville far worse than even the outskirts of Texan civilization.Superhero!

    I am from Texas, but thankfully never picked up ya'll. But, I Spent most of my younger years in Colorado where I learned to talk. Therefore, I don't have the awesome southern draaaaaawl nor do I say ya'll.

    I don't think y'all is bad, I grew up with people who said 'yous kids'. Although my dad was an English teacher, so using 'ain't' or 'yous' was a one time occurrence.

    I beg to differ on the silent t in often being the only acceptable pronunciation. Merriam Webster seems to recognize both pronunciations. Some of the others are simple verbal laziness by which we drop sounds to say the words faster. Most people understand what you meant, but it makes you sound very lazy with your speech or ignorant neither of which is desirable.
