You@
I read this in another forums: Hope this tips will help you@.
Google shows there is a number of people writing "you@". Some people in Spain use the @ in cases like "nosotr@s", so that it includes "nosotros" and "nosotras". What is the reason for this you@ in English?

My first take is that this simply means "You all".
Of course, this is a guess, but looking in google, in different contexts, that's what makes more sense to me. If I am wrong, please, let me know. Random House gives, you-all, Chiefly South Midland and Southern U.S. (used in direct address to two or more persons, or to one person who represents a family, organization, etc.): You-all come back now, hear? Tell your mother it's time you-all came to visit us. Also, y'all.

If you expand your search to the number of internet hits for 'me@', you'll see that it is three times more common than 'you@', and it couldn't possibly mean 'me all' (since that isn't English). I think it means 'at' after both pronouns. By the way, around these parts, "y'all" is often used to address one person and "all y'all" is used when more than one person is being addressed. ![]() |
