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".
