- summermusic 2y agoHalf my family says yinz, half my family says you’uns. They’re both correct as far as I’m concerned.
- banannaise 2y agoSince it's short for "you ones", I suppose it would technically be "you'nes", which of course looks insane and nobody would ever write it that way. I've also seen it written with an apostrophe ("y'inz") which is funny to me - it acknowledges the contraction, but with everything completely misplaced. (and yes, I am from western PA)
