Paul, it is yinz, not you'uns! I'm thinking you need to visit Western Pa to get your accent right!

Paul, it is yinz, not you'uns! I'm thinking you need to visit Western Pa to get your accent right!

Hey, I debated for several minutes about spelling it "yinz" vs. "you'uns." I actually looked (before posting) at the Wikipedia page, where I found

Because there are still speakers who use each form, there is no stable second-person plural pronoun form in southwest or central Pennsylvania—which is why this pronoun is variably referred to or spelled as you'uns, y'ins, y'uns, yunz, yuns, yinz, yenz, yins or ynz.

(The Wikipedia page led me ineluctably to the page on the Philadelphia accent, thereby consuming the next 20 minutes of my life!)

Perhaps I am just old. My PGH friends spelled it "you'uns."

Western PA seems to be a hot spot for Wine Makers. I'm assuming it's because of the long winters.
I lived in Wexford, PA for 11 years, (mid 1980's to mid 1990's)and I know what the winters are like.
You need a hobby or you will get cabin fever. I skied a lot! We even had New Years Day golf tournaments.
