Nice! Used to hurry home from school to catch those afternoon reruns. Wiki (where only real facts reside) says, тАЬThe series starts with Jed Clampett, a poor, widowed hillbilly who lives with his daughter and mother-in-law near an oil-rich swamp in Silver Dollar City in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri.тАЭ As a child, I instantly knew the Clampetts werenтАЩt from Texas. We donтАЩt have hillbillies. We have rednecks. тАЬYтАЩallтАЭ is plural, we donтАЩt say, тАЬWeeell doggies,тАЭ and if we had to eat possum innards, we wouldnтАЩt admit it much less feed it to our bank president. But somehow, we felt a kinship with the Clampetts.
I'm sorry, but as a Yankee, whose education in various country dialects was in Basic Training from people, many of whom were local to the Tennessee/Kentucky border. I was told that "Y'all" is the second person singular of "you" and "All y'all" is the second person plural. Of course, it wasn't presented exactly that way. It wasn't until we were all settled in that I found out one of my buddies who was pulling my chain, actually had a Master's Degree in Economics.
Ha! A guy with a degree in Economics should indeed know how to count, and respect to you for accurate apostrophe placement. We Texans are civilized just enough to use тАЬyouтАЭ for 2nd person singular and тАЬyouтАЭ but mostly тАЬyтАЩallтАЭ for 2nd person plural. To our ears, тАЬyтАЩallтАЭ for 1st person singular sounds like uncoached Yankees (no disrespect) playing rubes in a B movie, and itтАЩs a sure sign of a newcomer trying to fit in. But you bring up a good point. Here, тАЬall yтАЩallтАЭ is 2nd person plural emphatic, as in тАЬALL yтАЩall gonna git a whuppinтАЩ if any yтАЩall ride them bikes тАШcross my tтАЩmater patch again!тАЭ I canтАЩt speak for Tennessee and Kentucky, but if you see any of those jokers again, please tell them boys they done did themselves proud fightinтАЩ for the Republic back in 18 and 36. Vols and Long Rifles, we proud of ALL yтАЩall!
