I say y'all in Colorado and nobody up here says shite about it. Hell, I think a third of the state is from the south originally.

As I was born in New York state and raised in Illinois, I accept most southerners classifying myself as a yankee, despite my Texas residency.
As a yankee, I feel I should chime in, Y'all is stupid. Specifically the apostrophe. I happen to think yall is excellent. It is a much better and more efficient way to refer to peoples not including oneself.
However, there is no need or purpose for an apostrophe. Neither y'all nor yall is valid English. The value of yall is the efficiency, and the apostrophe is an entirely wasted character.

I would tend to agree but your post smacks of "I'm a clueless outsider. I don't get it."
You sure wrote a lot of words to say, "lose the apostrophe and it's fine."

"I agree with the claims of your post, but don't like you and am annoyed with myself for agreeing" is the exact response I aim for.

in the dictionary =/= valid English
slang, for example, is not valid English.

I always thought the purpose of a dictionary was to show spelling, definition,uses and such for a set of words that constitute a given language. The fact that a dictionary recognizes a word does not, in fact, make it a word?
Well, shite the bed. My head just exploded.

I don't know how to say this more plainly. Just because something is a word does not mean it is valid English. You can cut food with a spoon, but that doesn't make it a knife. ok?

Terrible analogy. A spoon is a spoon. A knife is a knife.
A word is... a word. The dictionary is a tool used to recognize and define these words.
You lose. Again. I hope that is plain enough for you.
