I think "y'all" should be accepted throughout the English speaking world, since the English language has no plural specific form of "you."

You are leaving out our Northern State neighbors who do not use 'y'all' for the plural of 'you'. They use 'youse' as in; "Are youse guys going to the store?":D:D

It's funny how the spelling and grammar police make the same mistakes. Hmmm. Can I join in on the circle-jerk?

I just corrected a mistake intentionally made, but I don't think you would have gotten it.

I think the best I've seen recently were:

"all" used as "I'll"
Example: I think all do that.

"common people" used as "come on, people"


What are some of your favorites?

The worst is when people say, "It's a mute point."

Everyone knows the point is moo. It's like a cow's opinion... it doesnt mean anything.:D:P


"Ignorance is bliss" and "Patience is a virtue"... So if you're stupid and don't mind waiting around for a while, I guess you can have a pretty good life!

I was actually quoting a Friend's episode where Joey was trying to explain that he thought is was "moo", instead of "moot". I guess I should stick to my day job instead of that comedy carreer I was thinking about.[:/]

Hey dere, now. Be nice, doncha know. Speakin Sconsin's not so kitty wampus, eh. :P


That however, was one of the funniest things I've read in a long time. I can almost hear a friend of mine from Sconsin. Oh ya, you betcha!

Not to get too off-topic here, but speaking of odd regional sayings, whats with people from the south saying, "I'll tell you what..." I always want to answer them by asking, "What?"

Guilty as charged.:S It's just an exclamation that allows me time to prepare the proper emphasis for whatever I'm about to say.
