Hi folks! Love this initiative!

I recently heard that using "y'all" is a form of culturally appropriated language. I grew up in the US south and haven't considered this before, but it could be worth visiting. The other one that might cross this barrier is "peeps."

Keep up the good work!

Thank you for sharing. As two Southerners, speaking for myself, I always thought y'all was a word to shun, but then re-embraced it over the last decade. That said, we will take this under consideration and might add a note or something.

Thank you for the suggestion about peeps!
