I encourage you to check out the current post by David Pulling over at Rhetorically/Poetically Yours.
For those of you who do not know David, he is the tech liaison over at the Acadiana Writing Project. Besides that, he is a fun guy and an all around great person. Give this blog post a read and leave him some feedback on the use of the word y'all. He has also asked us to consider why the southern accent causes others to view us as less than intelligent. Feel free to join in the debate.

Thanks for the reference, Jared. Since you live and work in the historical shadow of a great Southern literary scholar and linguist, the late but immortal Cleanth Brooks, no wonder my post on the standards of "y'all" attracts your interest.
I like what y'all are doing with the LSU site blog. I'm going to show it to our AWP leadership. Until we get a regular website going, a blog could be the deal.
Ciao, and chill, from the land across the Basin,
David
