Brilliant analysis and dissection! I feel very confused…

Your brain must get tired now and then but I haven’t seen any evidence of it so far.  The world would be a far bleaker locale without your take on it.

As a Southerner by adoption, I must protest: y’all is singular, not plural. The plural is all y’all.

O.M.G… how have i missed those?!  i’m goin’ lookin for one of them handbills first thing tomorrow.  y’all.

And here I thought AIDS was transmitted by the exchange of body fluids.  I didn’t think cussin’ and using filthy language could do it.  Ohhhhhh ... eeeeewwwws

First of all, let me just thank Jesus here and now that I am sheltered enough that I have never seen anything remotely like this handbill. Second of all, I’m from the south and I have never understood why folks get so tangled up in the fact that y’all has been in my vocabulary “ever since” I was born. (The doc spanked my butt and instead of crying, I spewed, ‘Howdy y’all!) Ok, not really (but blame it on my sheltered life again), the fact that I could swear “y’all’ resides in Websters. Ya know what? I believe I’m fixin’ to go look it up right now, ain’t it the truth?

Second person squared, I’ll try that out on my students.
I remember one of my pupils saying to me in horror one day” But Madame, that means you ‘vous’ your parents!!”
