Monday 6th March for some of us - Orthodox AND Catholic

For others it was Monday 27th February

"y'all"

Is this some strange foreign language? Ancient Hebrew, perhaps?

choirfiend · Mar 10, 2006

Monday---which starts liturgically Sunday night, during vespers, after the Prokeimenon.

Come to Joisey, we'll loynya hadda tawk good!!

(I can amaze auslanders over the phone, by being able to switch from legitimate English, to Soprano-speak at will )

"Y'all" is legitimate English.

tdcharles · Mar 10, 2006

Y'all is legitimate english because English no longer has a plural "you". (or rather, plural "you" looks exactly like singular "you".) Therefore, we southerners rose to the occassion, and rightfully invented the noble word "y'all".

Benedicta00 · Mar 10, 2006

I think y'all is the best word ever used.

You can address every at once by only using one word to do it.

"You all" is just to long and drawn out. Y’all is much better.

"Youse guys" is also long and complicated. Y'all is much better.

tdcharles · Mar 10, 2006

In addition to the excellent commentary by Shelb5, I'd point out that "you all" and "you guys" is improper English. "You" must only be used, and if there is more than one person, you're out of luck! But the lawful addition of the word "y'all" makes things easier, and proves the genius of the South!

Just promise you won't get Joe the Kansan started on this one! He'd go into the finer points of the usage of y'all AND you'n.

However, in certain areas of the country, "y'all" is singular and the plural form is "all y'all".

But Y'all is nothing compared to the awesomeness of the Pittsburghese. "Yinz".

Example "Hey yinz quys, wanna go get a chip-ham sammich down in da souside.
