Exactly what I was trying to say, but said MUCH better. Thanks.
My pleasure. :-)
A-MEN!* heh. And for the love of Pete (though I don't believe I've seen
anyone make this mistake in this thread, I just mention it as a pet peeve of
mine) it's y'all, and not ya'll. You + all. Not ya + all.
Um, Brian, I've gone back and read that 4 times now and I don't see it
spelled "ya'll" anywhere except where you're complaining about it. You're
very right that it is, indeed, "y'all", but I think you read over the quote a
bit too fast...
Who's reading the quote too fast? I said I didn't see anyone make that
mistake in this thread; I just mentioned it because it's a pet peeve of
mine I often do see. :-)
True. "You" in the English language is properly both singular
and plural, which can be extremely confusing, so "y'all" takes the place
of the plural version of "you" and can be used in all circumstances that
a plural you could be used. Brian, I would posit that in your example
above, the actual phrase in mind was originall "all of y'all" but that the
"f" was at some point dropped leaving the remaining "o" to basically
be swallowed in the phrase and therefore shortened to just "all y'all".
Indeed. I considered making it "all o' y'all" as I typed it, but
decided the truth undermined my point too much. ;-)
Heh. Now back to translation lookaside buffer simulators...
Well, this is sort of on topic, perhaps, maybe, as this entire thread
is sort of a "lookaside". O:-)
That's just what I was working on before I took a moment to jump in on
the conversation.. :-) No relation to the original thread topic (which,
by the subject header, might have been lunch?).
