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.

ETA: Why would anyone a hundred and fifty years from now lovingly restore a Camry?

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?

I might be willing to buy it if the verb were singularly conjugated! It was not!
