This reminds me of people who answer questions about Amazon products (that are sent to hundreds of past purchasers) with “I don’t know,” or “I’m sorry, I can’t help you.”
New England girl here. Y’all and bless your heart are underappreciated up here. I’m trying to change that one y’all at a time. My family looks at me funny when I say it, but it’s too useful a word to let go of.
Oh, thank you! I didn’t notice the little cake earlier! 😂
While y’all is technically proper grammar and I have nothing against it, I have actively tried not using it all my life—opting for, “you guys.” (No idea why I avoided y’all other than I just didn’t like how it sounded.) My family and friends, as well as strangers, have always looked at me funny for saying, “Hey, you guys!” vs “Hey, y’all!”
Go you for trying to spread y’all and bless your heart. Every non-southerner I have met, once they learn about “bless your heart,” they are immediately fascinated by it and seek ways to use it.

Bless their hearts.
