Mattress-Filled Warehouse Fire Goes to Three-Alarms in Baltimore
BALTIMORE - Baltimore fire officials say they spent about 90 minutes putting out a three-alarm fire in a brick warehouse that was filled with mattresses.
The fire was reported around 1:30 p.m. Sunday, and more than 80 firefighters responded.
Capt. Roman Clark, a fire department spokesman, says the blaze was tough to put out because of all the mattresses inside the building.
The fire was placed under control shortly before 3 p.m. The cause is under investigation, and officials say the building's owner was on the scene assessing the damage.

When there's an entire site dedicated to interpreting 'Philly Slang," http://www.phillytalk.com/philly-slang let us hope that Philly is NOT the arbiter of all that is grammatically correct.
A quick addendum; There's a Wikipedia page dedicated to explaining how yous talk in West Philly.

"The word "Jawn" can be used as an indeterminate placeholder for almost any noun, to refer to a thing ("Hand me that jawn"), a female person, ("That girl's my young jawn") or a place ("I was over at my boy's jawn last night") and is used in many situations to indicate almost anything." Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

We prefer "youse" over "yous".
-
-
Would 'youse' be singular and 'yous' be plural?
{Good god, I'm debating the grammatical correctness of Philly slang.)

Both plural. Youse is a more better spelling.
-

Are you sure about that? If 'youse' is pronounced y-use, as in 'youse better not do that,' it should be singular (there's not a strong sibilant at the end of it), whereas 'yous (guys) better not do that' would be plural. 'Youse' just sounds like it wants to be singular and 'yous' (stronger sibilant) plural. Or am I over thinking the whole ting?

I feel dumber just reading all of these entries... just sayin

Youse and yous are pronounced the same way - as in, "my company sure could use a good job tonight". They both work the same way - as in, "youse/yous vollies crack me up". I simply prefer the former spelling.
(I wonder what the over/under would be on the number of times "sibilant" will be seen in an FFN thread.)

That's quite an insight, Tyler. So you may not be as dumb as you feel.
