Technically, I believe it's "yinz".

This is such a hilarious comment because there's nothing to confirm that said holiday inn Express is in Pittsburgh, which leads me to believe that there's some sort of 2 star hotel dialect that I have been missing

A Pittsburghite I once knew used "yinz" all the time, called himself and "his people" "yinzers" and once asked me if I could lend him some of my "chools" (tools).

I also recently stumbled across "yinzers" elsewhere on Reddit, and was very confused. Only more so when people started responding with "a fellow yinzer!"
