1) Yep, agreed. It needs to cover a broader range of dialects, not just US-ian. ;)

2) WRT morphology, I have been known to use 'yous' to address more than one person. Probably due to my heritage being Glasguensis. ;)

3) *agrees loads* It looks like it's sneaking in an 'are you civilised/middle class?' type of question. Because how you speak is clearly related to your ability to eat pizza/whack a label on yourself. *facepalm*

I think “all y'all” is an excellent way of being really sure you mean multiple people.

I do think it's geared towards Americans, actually.

15 is called a roll-y poley (I have no idea how one spells this!) where I come from. I can't remember their proper name anymore. >_

We called our sixth form common form "the rec room", but I haven't heard it used to refer to a part of a house in the UK.
