I believe copula deletion is a dialect feature independent of y'all vs. yinz.

I am deleting the following segment of the final sentence in this article, "a name some although few native Pittsburghers consider to be a mild pejorative, like calling someone a hick, or a rube, most Pittsburghers love it." This is not only highly argumentative, it is most likely untrue. I live in Pittsburgh, and know very few people that love the term, or would be happy to have it applied to them. Since the assertion is strictly argumentative, in my opinion it does not belong in the article. Yem75 18:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
Though they are examples of "Yinz" in popular culture, the references to the New Yinzer & Yinz United (particularly the latter) look a lot like self-promotion in disguise. Thoughts? Yem75 04:10, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
