Subject: Re: 2nd pl.



I'm cursing myself for throwing a large chunk of unread mail

where this 2nd plural discussion first came up. My apologies if

I'm going back over explored territory, but I'm dying to know what

happens to these forms, (y'all, youse, you guys) in the possessive.



Y'all's doesn't sound too bad to me, but youse's offends the

ear and I'm not that crazy about you guys's either. I think I would

know if I had heard these forms before, but maybe there's something

crucial I'm missing...
