Guys

I would say that most people who know me accept that I have a borderline hick accent.  I can turn it off, though, should certain settings demand a more neutral lilt.  Henry's teachers are no exception.  In fact, if I notice a southern accent, then it's probably pretty thick.  They definitely have southern accents, and I never noticed them trying to turn it off.

Then why is Henry saying "guys" all the time?  "Stop, guys."  I got stickers, guys."

Here's what I would say:

"Stop, ya'll."
"Ya'll!  I got stickers."

And, what's up with my auto spell check underlining "ya'll" every time I type it?

I feel out of place.  Where is this insecurity coming from, ya'll?
