Et Y'all - the Texan, or friendlier, less Latin, aka more widely understood version of "et al". It proclaims, "Yes, I'm familiar with writing etiquette, but I'm also from Texas, and we say Y'all" This greeting is the perfect salutation to use when writing or addressing a group of
people. Instead of typing out every name in that first
line of an email, letter, memo, or other correspondence, one can simply name the first one, and follow it with the
friendly "et y'all".
