Zennie 0 #78 August 16, 2001 Quote"Well, now, little filly.....you'all need some hep with that ? Dont you'all be a'tellin' me the red done wore off already ?" Bzzt!!! Yankee alert!It's spelled y'all because it's a contraction of "you all". Thus it is only used in the plural. The singular tense, as is used in your example, would be "yew". Plural possessive, in case you're curious, is "y'alls".Nice try though.... In Advanced Texan you will learn proper use of terms such as "fixin". ------------Blue Skies!Zennie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

freaksister 0 #81 August 16, 2001 Good lord! It's not "Y'all" it is "Ya'll" !!!!!!!!!!!!!Notice the placement of the damn apostrophe!Sis ( so grammar was my strong suit, but I don't give much of a fuck anymore! Only when it is convenient!) PS - Pyke sent me a voicemail asking how much prime ass was at Quincy...apparently he has USED up all the booty in Atlanta with his pack of lies! LOL SIGH -I didn't pass out his business cards, because I wouldn't do that to the people at Quincy! HAHAHAHASis Before you judge me, take a look at you...

Zennie 0 #82 August 16, 2001 QuoteIt's not "Y'all" it is "Ya'll"Uh oh. The Great Apostrophe Debate has started. "Ya'll" would not be a contraction of anything. Other than maybe Ya-all. Which I suppose is possible.In any event, "Y'all" is found in Websters. "Ya'll" is not. ------------Blue Skies!Zennie Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jessica 0 #83 August 16, 2001 QuoteGood lord! It's not "Y'all" it is "Ya'll" !!!!!!!!!!!!!AARRRGHGHGHH Sis, I love you dearly, and I'd do almost anything for you, except murder and overlooking incorrect grammar. And the murder's negotiable.It's Y'ALL -- you+all = y'all. And Zennie, you've got a mistake up there too:QuotePlural possessive, in case you're curious, is "y'alls".NO NO NO! Plural posessive is Y'ALL'S with TWO apostrophes. One apostrophe for the contraction, and one to indicate the posessive.Sincerely,Grammar Queen Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PLFKING 4 #84 August 16, 2001 Quote It's spelled y'all because it's a contraction of "you all".

freaksister 0 #88 August 16, 2001 Welcome to Conjunction Junction! I will be your guide today. I cannot place apostrophes properly either, so I will be learning right along with you!I cannot believe Y'all is in the dictionary. That's just sick.Texans have their own language, don't Y'ALL know?Sis (ain't ain't in the dictionary now too is it?) Before you judge me, take a look at you...

Slappie 9 #93 August 16, 2001 I cannot for the life of me figure out why we are still debating the spelling of Ya'll... Ya'll is singular and used as plural also. C'mon folk let's get this right!! Texanese is a language no one outside of Texas will even understand nor master. You must live "Texan" to understand it.........Zennie you gunna be at the DZ this weekend?
