      “could y’all please help me” -> “could mates please help me”?

          you dont need the word mates in that sentence ?w?

          and it wouldnt work in like so many situations.

          not saying you cant use it, but it doesnt seem like an adequat plural you

            Well, I guess the need for “y’all” may just may depend on the user’s desired level of informality when talking/writing. (To me personally, I just don’t like using it as it just sounds wrong to me.)
