0 Guest Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 Nothing yet, but... The only requirement is an apostrophe. That does not mean that it has to be followed by an "s" or any letter for that matter. I don't know if this will help or not...Still thinking...

0 HoustonHokie Posted April 2, 2009 Report Share Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) y'alls is a possessive pronoun all y'alls is plural possessive doubt that's what you were going for, though besides, it had an apostrophe before going possessive in general, I think most indefinite pronouns will work. Adding to the list from other replies: one's another's something's somebody's anything's anybody's Edited April 2, 2009 by HoustonHokie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
