Being a fan of The Wire <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wire_(TV_series)>, set in Baltimore, I've seen (head) a lot of "yo" and "y'all". It wasn't from the privileged elite of Baltimore. But, then again watching a TV show is not exactly field research, he-he.
The most common way to do this now is to use "they" as in: When the user > looks at the screen they decide what action to take. > Or "them" When someone wants a better interface you should give it to > them. > > I've used plural to avoid "he or she". I didn't realize that using the "singular they" is actually proper English. Or *almost *proper English. That's cool! This post was intended to be a bit in the "friday fun" spirit; part funny, part interesting. I guess that didn't come across too well :-) Morten -- Morten Hjerde http://sender11.typepad.com ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
