This cool map shows the regional differences between people to say “ya’ll” and people who say “you” — along with those who say “you all” and “you guys”.

Incredibly confusing (is it me?) but totally fascinating and organized with obvious passion, U the Movie is an interactive construction of “the greatest movie ever made,” in which you contribute to and help shape the story.
