why don't we call the female Bull Shark, "Cow Sharks?"

 

[aggieb]

not sure about the bull/cow sharks.

but is or isn't the grass greener on the other side?

Jesus, how many times do we have to debate this? The term "y'all" is a contraction for "you all." Because the letters "ou" are omitted, the term becomes "y'all." It's like the other grammatical error that drives daughter and me crazy, i.e., when people use "it's" instead of "its," or vice-versa. "It's" is a contraction of "it is," so the comma replaces the omitted "i." The word "its" is a possessive pronoun.

Bottom line: ya'll is just plain wrong.

we hear ya BR. believe it or not, we do understand and know what you say to be 100% grammatical fact. that has nothing whatsoever to do with it.

I don't know why, but I grew up spelling it ya'll, and I'm a good as "hail" speller. my english teachers from HS, undergrad, and beyond may not like it, bless their hearts. I can spell it ya'll cause I want to. I don't always make the right choices in life, but I seriously doubt this will lead to spending too much time in purgatory in the afterlife. and with my mama praying rosaries and novenas for me and everyone else on earth, wherever she may be, she'll get me out of it.

how many threads have we had this debate over how many years???????? ha ha ha.

'Cause if you do it in her presence, you'll WISH you'd just run into a bull shark, y'all. (THANK YOU, BR! It's a relief to see that settled, for its own sake.)

Hey all y,all!

Toots...spell it to your heart's content. I promise not to flinch when you use it.

Doing the right thing is sometimes hard.
Toots...glad you came back. We need some new and different sassy stuff around here.

Ya'll need to quit! It is what it is. We are all forgiving souls. However, y'all or ya'll want to spell it, won't make any difference how the wash comes out.
