If someone's grammar is going to bother you that much, just be happy they made that clear in the first message rather than wasting time and getting to a meet to be instantly turned off when they finally said it out loud  |

I believe it is in Manchester when referring to more than one person, but you’d need a manc for confirmation.
I think it also may be part of the scouse language too. But again it would need confirmation.

Some of the less civilised scousers are also known for saying it, often. |

It exists in other languages and in some forms of English. e.g. Y'all in the states.
I see no issue with it personally. Nor do I expect casual communication online to be grammatically perfect.
If anything I see it as an indication the person is comfortable.
Now if it's so broken as to be incomprehensible - then there's a practical communication issue. |

"Why do people pluralise the word you????
“I’d love to play with yous”
“What are yous looking for?”
Don’t. Just don’t."
Very common in Scotland, Ireland and I do hear it in parts of North England. Even parts of the US use varying versions.
English doesn't pluralise you. So if someone said I'd love to play with you. It could mean the person they are talking to of the couple or both in the couple. They are probably trying to be clear it is both of you. If yis don't like the word, yous don't have to meet them or respond to them though. But youse are not going to get people to stop using the word.
Hope y'all are having a good day.

Definitely Scouse. It's not in my Manc-orientated parlance, but there's different Manc dialects, depending on which bit you're from  |

It’s in the Oxford English Dictionary
Youse
With the pronoun being yous.
As others say it’s a regional dialect.
Does going the “the Asda” or going “T’pub” upset you or is a cob or a roll or a bap.
I don’t have issues with peoples local dialects and feel it is part of what makes us a country

As someone who grew up half way between Liverpool and Manchester I concur that it is a most unattractive scouse thing, and one which resulted in my being £1500 out of pocket for Man Utd season tickets. |
