Folks, plural, seems to be a southern thing, I think. To me, especially,
seeing Folk as singular (even though grammatically correct) is a tad
jarring. Folks is more common around here. For example, "I'm going to My
Folks' house for dinner" means you are eating with your parents. "You folks
come on over for some beans and cornbread" means "All y'all are expected for
supper."
