Fic snipe

In case you were wondering, "y'all" is a plural. It is short for "you all." Therefore a sentence structured, "Y'all [predicate], [individual's name]," is likely to make me wince and post wtf to DW.

Now in Texas y'all can be singular. It can also mean 2-3. All y'all (the plural y'all) is generally more than 3. ;p

The other Tennesseean disagrees! :P (What general part, if I may ask? I was raised in the Upper Cumberlands.)

But re: y'all as singular, yeah, this might be a local dialect thing?

Why would people put monster truck wheels on a Crown Victoria and paint it kelly green? I don't know either, but I've seen it!
