I find it interesting that you say "ye"! I am originally from Newfoundland. Its the eastern-most Canadian province, and "ye" is the usual form of "you" when we choose to speak our natal dialect. Ireland has much influence around the world - especially "across the pond", thus my interest in all things Irish (and I am a redhead too).

Carl I would hope that ye would find my tip more interesting than my dialect??I tend to use the term "YOUS" more often than not in speech and YE in writing.

Dear Uilliam,
I have some friends in Philadelphia who also use "yous" as in yous guys. This has been shortened over time to yugs. Strange language we speak.
