   You said y’all! You are learning. Next up is “all y’all.”

   Many northerners foolishly assume that “y’all” is already plural. If it were, then there would be no need for “all y’all”.

   I’ve been asked no less than 6 times why I didn’t port my number over. I’ve started deleting the messages with no reply.

   I year “yous” a lot while I’m on the road to places where English isn’t used properly (e.g. Tonga, Palm Beach, Pittsburgh (”y’inz”)).

   When I hear somebody say ‘yous guys’ i go into orbit. Ya’ll isn’t correct, either, but at it is a combination of ‘you all’, and not ‘yous guys’, which has nothing to do with anything.

   /end rant.

   Oh, forgot–southernspeak os proof of a sub-90 IQ. Talk like that and you might as well put a Camaro on blocks on your front yard and marry your sister. (Or run for president–ARG!) Those folks live in flyover country!

   Your favorite blue-state intellectual coastal snob, Dave

   (BTW, post above got F*&$ed up because I used the ‘less than’ for symbol for “sub”. HTML fart.
