Image: You vs. Y’all
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”. While I find it kind of strange that the only state to say “you” is grammatically-challenged Rhode Island, they've also left out the essential “youz” or “youz all” which exists exclusively on Long Island.

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.
