- untothebreach 10y agoReally? That's disappointing. I'm going to edit my post a bit bc apparently I've been misled :-/
- blatherard 10y agoActually, you'll hear plenty of "yinz" in the greater Pittsburgh area, but more often in the outlying rural areas surrounding the city.
- dgacmu 10y agoConcur. It's not quite as widespread - what I've seen is that even quite a few non-natives tend to adopt "needs washed" after living in the region for long enough, but I don't hear yinz used unconsciously from people not born in the region. But there's plenty of yinz - and the city embraces its yinz-ness.
- lowmagnet 10y agoI always heard it round dahntahn. Norseide and Souside, mostly. In the Nordills, it wasn't as common, but my gramma sed things like worsh and spigot but she grew up dahn Etna an aht. Goodness that was hard to type.
- exception_e 10y agoPeople will use it jokingly though :) "Are yunz gonna eat lunch n'at?"
- moron4hire 10y agoMy home town takes a lot of its accent from Baltimore, though it's still over two hours away. I never got used to saying "you'ns". There is a definite glottal stop in the middle. Annoying.
