It's in English, and it is used primarily in the U.S. South. It is a contraction for "you" and "all," meaning, "all of you." coco Yes, I know that. It belongs on the etymological dung heap along with ain't, bling and woot. _____________________

I'm originally from northern Illinois, but I find "y'all" a convenient collective noun. Certainly a hell of a lot better than a Brooklynese "youse guys".  |

People who can't take criticism should not be running a business in SL. It's amazing that all the attention to my site suddenly appeared when the mega-bitch designers suddenly discovered that someone objected to their promoting cigarettes in their ads. Now you all come and crap in my tagboard instead of THINKING ABOUT THE EFFECT OF YOUR OWN STUPID-ASS ADVERTISING. Y'all can go whine somewhere else. Don't like it - don't visit my site. Wow. Unprofessional AND whiny. The hypocracy of this post got a good genune RL LOL. |

Ok... this thread really isn't appropriate and rapidly degenerating, I'm sending it for linden review
Torley Linden: Life has whining, but Second Life also has rejoicing. Today is thankfully a great day because of the release of Second Life 1.10! Go inworld at your leisure and enjoy it productively. Speaking of, this thread has degenerated into unproductive personal stabs (see da forum Guidelines), and I do not wish to see hostilities flare up, causing more anger and whining in the process. So, keeping it closed. Rock on kitty boo yeah _____________________
