“BTW, the you’all is a great way of making the distinction of *you*. I will likely be absconding with it, and not in mockery of you either, lest you think that when I use it.”
So you think the fact that I live in the South is somehow a mockery?
I have to apologize because that’s a typo. That should have been all y’all instead of the singular y’all.
If you check back, I use all y’all in other posts.
You can use it. It don’t own the copyright.
*sigh*.
No. I had no idea where you lived. I never read anywhere that you may have posted it and I can’t hear accents on the screen.
Since the RF guidelines prevent the making it personal and one of the most annoying (to me) things about English is the personal pronoun of *you* in that you can’t distinguish between *you* plural, and *you* singular, I thought you were doing that to make the distinction so that nobody could complain that you (sing.) were making it personal.
I think it’s a great idea to use *you’all* or *y’all* to prevent confusion.
