This is just a nit pick of mine. I live in the DFW area and I have noticed over time that the quality of language skills I encounter on a day to day basis is declining. I work at a large retailer and I hear quite a few people using double negatives, slang .... in encounters with customers. This is just another example of someone who's language and writing skills seems to have declined.
This will not affect my business with them in any way. As I said, they have always done an excellent job for me and I have been with them for 25+ years.
I just don't like seeing "Y'all" or any version of that in a professional correspondence. I think it's tacky. I just started this thread to see if my belief that use of the word was incorrect was right. Suginami seemed to explain it well.

Out of curiosity, how old is the load officer in question?
I'm at the back half of my forties, and I have people in their twenties and thirties who report to me. The younger they are, the worse their writing skills are, and they frequently cross the line into overly familiar speech.
I'm their boss, and a person in their twenties will call me dude. I tell them I'm old enough to be their father, and I'm not their dude.
