I don't use the word "youse" with my written/spoken english, but I always thought it was probably just "You guys" shortened 
- "You's" lol
- "You's" lol

I am a student teacher, although my majors are textiles/food tech/wood work/metal work etc, I am still quite anal on spelling, in fact, I judge people on their spelling (which is a little horrible).
I never learnt how to spell properly, in fact I couldn't even read properly until after I dropped out of school, so I guess that makes me a bit of a hypocrite.. but at least I learnt how to spell properly in the end!
My pet hate is people who spell things wrong on purpose, eg, Buh instead of But... WHY!?!?! It uses the same amount of letters to spell 'but', it's not like they are shortening it in any way, I don't understand!?!?

Best thing about this post is it's educational for me. I've been trying to improve my spelling and grammar since about July last year when i started year 10 at Tafe, problem is i can't pronounce some words because of a throat injury when i was a kid. An example is water i say it like wader so i try to avoid saying it. i had no idea that you's is not a real word, so instead of saying "you's were" i should say "the two of you were". If anyone could read this and point out any mistakes i've made i would really appreciate it.

Whilst incredibly petty, the use of 'ect' instead of 'etc' drives me nuts! The word is etcetera god damn it! Or if you really wanna be picky et cetera, et meaning 'and' cetera meaning 'the rest'. Cheers.
Did anyone else freak out and check and check and check their spelling before posting here?

Do it all the time chrisso, it's just common courtesy towards other people. Plus it doesn't make you look and sound like an absolute drongo.

sure did chrisso81.. lol..
Haha!
On Facebook, a lot of my friends say 'dose' instead of 'does'. I try to make them be feel stupid by saying 'a dose of what?'
They don't understand.
Then they say 'Your cool', or 'You left you're sunglasses at my house'.
It annoys me.

Woohoo! Should be a comma after 'is', as in 'the problem is, Colin, nobody uses it...' otherwise... the problem is Colin... but we all know that already!

LOL! Just like the old panda who eats, shoots, and leaves!
I am all for the evolution of the language, don't get me wrong. Thanks to the boy, I actually say "lol" out loud now. To intentionally reshape words for no logical reason, however, is the next step on the way to a full blown Idiocracy...
