Lets get our X tons of Duranium back!

....Is that still a valid thing to jingoistically blow out of proportion?


Y'all is a perfectly fine word but if you're a rich white person from outside the South you shouldn't be allowed to use it, it's our word not yours. If you are from the South and/or working class where it's endemic, then it's cool.

probvably some rear end in a top hat from pittsburgh saying it

pros of yall:
Widespread use
can create horrifying contractions like "y'all'd'ven't"

Y'all is a perfectly fine conjunction and I never got why it was drilled into us that you could never say it by English courses.

it's dead in New York, based on living here for 2 years. The only people I know that use it are old money from North Carolina.

The South won the culture war at this point, y'all is just endemic to America in general at this point.
