Question:
Which of the following sentences rolls off the tongue easier?
"We will use y'alls numbers in our calculation."
"We will use your guys's numbers in our calculation."
Answer:
It depends on the address of the house you grew up in, I guess.
As you can imagine, this southern boy get no small amount of flack for my constant use of the work y'all. But I have noticed that the Canucks sound just as strange to me when they say "your guys's." So in the end, I guess we're even.
[But be honest... "y'all" just works better]

"Y'all" DEFINITELY sounds better!
"Your guys's"? Come On!
I have no idea what a 'tounge' is but if y'all have one, I want one too. ;)
My apologies for pointing out your mistakes. But at least I let the two spelling errors in the last paragraph slide.
Oops.
Love ya, Toddy!
