If anyone can find more pixels for me i would appreciate it.
Thanks y'all.
I don't think "Y'all" would be problematic. But I also offer "You peeps", I enjoy that one more in day to day conversation.

Fwiw, second person is fine as long as there's no misgendering... It's like calling someone by their name
Where does this put Scott the Woz?
I have a VERY southern friend. He once said "y'all all".
I'm from Maryland and I said "howdy" in New York and I got roasted by the CVS clerk for 2 full minutes. And then I said "do y'all have Tylenol" in hopes that she could point me in the direction. Another minute of her roasting me...

In what context(s)?
If you live on the line, or move north/west, it's now "you all".
Should be fine 👍
As a non-english speaker, I appreciate «Y'all» 'cause it always bug me the absence of a way to reference more than one individual in English.
What you mean «You» is used to reference both one person and a crowd? English is fuck up.
It feels like a standard case of it's fine until it isn't. I wouldn't worry about it and only drop it from your vocabulary if you notice it causing harm.
