Removed #5 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Y'all = means you, as in one person All y'all = everyone, or more than one person aye, and that's a yank for ya. you is singular y'all is plural simple as that. Talking to a child ... you go clean up your room! Talking to all your kids ... y'all go clean up your rooms! and a lots of luck with that .... So what is a buckfast (other than swiping someone elses dollar - quickly!!) ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh, well you got me looking at the various dictionaries. It's not quite as cut and dried as I use it either ... There's always the question: What is that thing in the store you put groceries in. Northeast US: a bag Central / west?: sack South (but dieing out): a poke Bet those folks over the pond have a few different ones as well.

Removed #5 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Once, several years ago, I went to San Francisco for a computer conference (HP 3000). One of the fellows there, with who I'd corresponded in writing for a couple of years, was from New Zealand. When we met face to face neither of us could understand a word the other was saying! I kid you not, we had to get one of the Aussies to translate English to English for us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In different parts of the country, that carbonated beverage is a soda, others a soda pop, and others call every one of them a Coke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
