Um...screw....it's y'all where I come from. :mad:

"Y'all" is indeed correct. Contraction of "you all", the plural of you. The apostrophe replaces the letters that are left out of the contraction.

my latest hobby is inventing words that sound like other words and using them at work.

Like Gittiefah and yabarsah

So you could say under your breath: Ah Gittifah yabarsah - go gittiefah yasilf.

in parts of the south "y'all" is now singular and "all y'all" is now plural.

I know SOME specific people wanted Pathfinder's head, but I recall him being very well received by the overall community. I like him very much and always have!

I don't see any comparison between Pathfinder and the widespread condemnation of the ResMods.
I dont seem to remember objections directed at Pathfinder really. He always seemed so pleasant that for a while I was convinced he was Merwan. I wondered why he had backed away from the forums.

But back to the point made about Pathfinder and forum moderation. There will always be those who maintain the very valid position that the forums should not be censored or moderated. Some others, like me, are willing to accept moderators but are opposed to having that service performed by members who control the content offered by other members. This is the proper venue for a Linden employee with the only exception being that the membership be permitted to vote for and elect other members who can control us IN ANY WAY.

Would we tolerate a program where members could be selected by a few Linden employees and given the power to wander in world to monitor and censor our content there? I doubt it. Can you see it now...an in world version of a resmod closing a shop in world for selling suggestive clothing in a PG sim...What, you think that would never happen? That exists here in the forums now with the resmod program.

Well friends, how does this resmod program differ from the concept of an inworld army of elite members who can control us...it really is the same conceptually.

No doubt, stupid people have destroyed the value of the once useful unambiguous plural you.

I never hear anyone say y'all in singular down here where I live.

I suspect this change has been caused by Yankees using it incorrectly and the incorrect usage has spread.

I have heard people say "all y'all" or "all of y'all", but that can result from emphasis through repetition, making it clear that one means all of a group as distinct from part of a group,

Example: "Are all y'all going to the movies?" "Y'all" is still plural in the preceding sentence.

I have lived in the south for 18 years now, and for 21 years at the other end of my life, and I don't think I have ever heard any one use "y'all" meaning singular you.

One way or the other, however one spells it, the language needs clearly distinct singular and plural "you".

parts of george and florida. this from native georgans and floridians i've spoken with personally. linguists at that.

language changes over time. if you are arguing about how something is supposed to be... it's usually too late - it's usually already changed.

unlikely. most currently theory is that it's a natural shift.

also, there's no such thing as "incorrect" usage. language shifts all the time.

i guess that depends on what you mean when you use the word correct. and the world language. and the word shift. it's hard to tell, what with the meaning of words and how to interpret the characters changing during the course or reading or writing a sentence.

why would this be a natural shift?

are the yankees starting to use "you guys" to mean one person now?

perhaps my usage of "correct" differs from your due to regional variation?

Man, I just read the article in the Herald about this. I've had a busy week so I missed most of this drama.

I know I'm late to the party, but what a bunch of terrifying, ,,,,sucking horse,,,,.

You're telling me a ResMod was appointed who didn't even know that she had no right to edit anything? I'm not even a ResMod and I'm up enough on the situation to understand what their role is. And I knew this was the case weeks ago.

Sounds like a lot of "Oh wow, I have a big old stick now? I NEVER ACTUALLY USE THE FORUMS BUT LET ME GO PLAY WITH MY BIG OLD STICK WOW THIS IS FUN HOOO-WEE."

edit: Oh, and lest we get Yet Another Off Topic Lecture, this is on topic, as I am welcoming the thought of new, untrained and dangerous ResMods with trepidation and discomfort.
