Re: Proper Englishish..
Unless the person was a Texan or a Southerner, I can't say I have heard anyone else use Y'all, certainly wasn't widely used in California, but I wouldn't count on English being the predominate language there especially in So. California 100 years from now, Spanish will have probably taken over by then.
