Question...

Mar. 17th, 2004 at 3:33 PM

on Southern grammar, specifically Texas.

Is the proper plural 'you' in Texas 'all y'all' or is it something else?

And as for your actual question, I can't speak for Texans (thank God), but in my house usually 'y'all' is singular and 'all y'all' is plural. 'Y'all' can be plural, though. Why? Because it's shorter and the entire point of the word 'y'all' is that Southern people are lazy fucks who don't like using more words than they have to.

ha. I had typed something else before that paragraph but I deleted it. I just forgot to delete the 'And as for your actual question,' part. ::cringe:: I'm a loser. Ignore that.

Aw. Dude! Oh my God, I'm so excited. I was excited enough at the prospect of new music but now there's a special surprise inside? You, my darling twin, are beyond awesome. ::hugs::

Yeah. I know FL and LA and NC are all y'all, but I was just curious if TX was different because, well, Texas.

Texas. Bleh. Much like Alabama, I just don't see the point in it.
