Nice to see I'm still remembered.

Still pumping gas, saving money for university or whatever it is I'm supposed to be saving for. Still getting shat at by stupid assholes who don't even know how to fuel their cars or think they deserve everything before everybody else.

At least the salary is resonable...for someone who works 28-31 days a month at minimum wage.

I wish I could have been with you that one last time.

Welcome!

I went to college in Portland, Oregon ... where I drank vodka, gin, and absinthe. What a coincidence! :wink:

Hi, I'm new here as well.

I am currently un-employed, or as I prefer to think of it, I am a full-time student working on an undergraduate degree in philosophy. :D

I honestly didn't know how to phrase that. I was claiming the Water
of the dunepunk and that other guy.

"All ya'll" is the proper plural where I come from.

The Water of Both of You is Ours ?

I guess "Your Water is Ours" would be correct for two people, as well, but ...

Hey guess what ? I sobered up for about 3 or 4 hours, then started in
on the case of Lone Star that's been out on the porch fridge since before
thanksgivin'......

yeah, that's more a rust belt thing.

I used to be real good at telling you where you were from in the South

Probably my final paper for my philosophy class. I wrote it in defense of a compatibilist view of free will (i.e. free will as compatible with a deterministic universe). haha :lol:

You should partly ignore my last post here, I was a tad angry and depressed for a week, 'tis almost over now. Still hate my boss, but that's usual. She's a lying, bigotted bitch.

Did you know? Listening to Rammstien's Rammstien while swinging an axe indoors(also while going amock) may result in broken furniture! Be ye warned!

Well, it was half broken before anyway... :wink:

It's "y'all" not "ya'll" and it's already plural.
y'all vs. all y'all

Correction: In Texas (and most of The South), "y'all" is singular, and "all y'all" is plural.

I'm a native Texan (raised in Arlington, home of the Texas Rangers baseball team), and "y'all" is plural, and "you" is singular. -- KeithRay

My wife is Texan, from Fort Worth, and one of her friends said "only a Texan really understands the difference between Y'all and all y'all. Both are plural, and as far as an Englishman can tell "y'all" is just a plural "you" whereas all y'all means something like "each and every one of you" but with some difference in shade of meaning which is "Just beyond anyone not native to Texas...". Maybe a Texan could comment...

Sure. "All y'all" is short for "all of y'all" (e.g. "all y'all are under arrest."), just like "sum y'all" is short for "some of y'all" (e.g. "sum y'all will not grad-u-ate.") -- KeithRay

Fascinating. I was born in Mississippi, am living in Alabama, and until this moment had never noticed the usage of "all y'all". It's not something I say frequently, if ever, but I definitely recognize it. Anyway, plain-old "y'all" is definitely plural. And in the really rural parts of Mississippi, it is pronounced "gray-j'ate" :) -- Richard Rapp

[more recently moved from SingularThey]

This is not unique to Texas. Here in North Carolina, we also have singular "you", plural "y'all", and plural "all y'all" (meaning "each and every one of you"). This "y'all is singular, all y'all is plural" is a common misconception that was perpetuated by a stupid joke e-mail (Now you've gone and let the yankees in on the joke.) that went around for a few years. The confusion probably arises because you can use "y'all" when speaking to a single person, but it is understood to mean "you and the group with which you are commonly associated". For example, if I end a conversation with my friend with "y'all have a good weekend", it means "you, your wife, and your kids have a good weekend". -- EddieDeyo

One of the biggest differences between "y'all" and "all y'all' can be seen in the following question. If I were to ask a group of people "Do y'all have a car," I would most likely mean do you have a car between you all. If I were to ask "Do all y'all have a car," I would be asking if each person in the group owned a car. Or if I were addressing a crowd, I might ask "Do y'all have parents in the military?"... I would want the people with parents in the military to answer affirmatively. If I were to ask "Do all y'all have parents in the military?" I would be either asking for a response from any individual who might be able to answer for the whole crowd (if every single person had parents in the military) or I would be asking for people who did not have parents in the military to speak up. I am implying that I think that most people in the audience have parents in the military with the question. There are dozens of contexts here, so to some extent, you need to be a native Texan or Southerner to really understand the different variations. For the most part, "y'all" could replace "all y'all," but "all y'all" will not replace "y'all" in all situations. From that standpoint, "all y'all" carries a more specific meaning than "y'all" --Carter Mayfield
