How have I only just found out parts of Australia also say ‘youse’?I thought it was a Scottish thing.Other languages have a word for plural you. Standard English is missing out not having one.#linguistics #languages #Scotland #Australia

@ferrous Interesting thanks, wonder if it’s considered slang everywhere. I know many people don’t think it’s a valid word.

@KikiElara @ferrous There are Scots all over the Commonwealth, now with roots nearly 2 centuries deep… I would suspect they brought it with them.
