      I’m honestly really glad it seems to be a shared opinion that’s changed over the years. About 10 years ago I got told it was unprofessional language in the workplace.

        I’ve been using y’all in corporate America for about five years now and have yet had a manager condemn its use. It’s widely accepted now and I’ve had coworkers mentioned it makes them fondly remember family from the south. It’s just a good colloquial for referring to a group. Oddly enough “you guys” has slowly been entering my diction too due to working with more folks from the west and midwest.Midwest.

        Ain’t is one I still unconsciously avoid in professional settings though.
