Sometime or other, you'll probably see me write (or hear me say, if you know me) "y'all." Now, I'm not from a part of the country where that's a common thing, but I got started on it when I started learning French and Arabic. In English, the plural "you" is the same as the singular, and sometimes that's just not satisfying. "Y'all" does the job quite well.
That's all I have to say to y'all for now.

- I never shut up until I learned to read... then I learned to write, and I haven't yet come back to earth. So, I'm not completely sane.

so ok, what is 'sane', exactly?
ReplyDeleteas for y'all, gopher it! ;) lol
If you're wondering what sane is, you may need to find another blog. Here, there are many aspects of insanity, including:
ReplyDelete-overwrought creativity
-English grammar
-English spelling
-wanting to teach English in a country where you're an infidel
-idealism
All of which happen to be integral parts of my life.
Thanks for following!
Us Pittsburghers say "yinz" or, alternately, "yunz." A blog, huh?
ReplyDeleteYup, a blog. The goal is for it to be a journal I won't lose under a 2-foot stack of papers. But now I've started blogging, I've got to admit I yearn for followers in a don't-bother-that's-not-the-point-but-it-would-be-nice sort of way.
