"Ustedes" is the second person plural of "you." The first syllable is pronounced "ooh" not "you," btw. And the singular version is "usted."

"Los yinzos" wouldn't be bad, or maybe even better "los yinzadores," ("those who yinz"), but by the time there's enough of a Hispanic population here that Spanish is spoken in the streets of Pgh., I think the last yinzer will be have said "adios."

Just checking for accuracy. Do "los yinzdores" or "El Yinzador" have any working class/low class/uneducated connotations?
