>>>> You can Live in the Deep South, where: .... 1. You can rent a movie and buy bait in the same store.
Hey, that's just an idea that was ahead of its time in the South...that sort of thing was common WAY before the Super-Kmart's, Super-Wal-Mart's, etc.... :) >>>>2. "y'all" is singular and "all y'all" is plural. I need to consult with Janice on this one. I don't know about in your area, Janice, but in 52 years in Piedmont NC, I've NEVER heard anyone use "y'all" as singular. It's always "you" for singular, and "y'all" for plural! Of course, being raised to be a proper Southern Lady (gosh, where DID my mom go wrong!?!), I know the CORRECT usage is "you" for singular, but a Truly Proper Southern Lady softy and s-l-o-w-l-y drawls about "y-ou all-lll" for plural, emphasizing all 8 syllables of the phrase. Proper Southern Ladies don't say "y'all " a'tall. Janice, do people in your neck of the woods use "y'all" as singular? Inquiring minds want to know. Maybe it's a regional thing... :) Karen Thomas, NC
