TLS c/o 2020 - In #Squad We Trust Forum

[airwrecka]

I must say, I feel like everyone in this thread has been very civil the past 24 hours that we've discussed ideologies/hot button topics.

I told my husband what we were talking about and he was like "are you guys just practicing arguing in prep for law school?"

Honestly just recently started putting the apostrophe in at all and just put it where I normally change the inflection. I haven't seen it printed much so didn't even think about consulting anything.

Looks like my whole life has been a lie

Here's a debate I can get into.

It's obviously **y'all**, because you-all. Also acceptable "yall" because English grammar and punctuation are largely fluid concepts and often an oppressive tool of establishing cultural hierarchies.

However, it's never **ya'll**. I feel dumb even typing it out that way.

[airwrecka]

Speaking of grammar, what the common grammar errors people from your part of the country make?

In my high school, there were RAMPANT problems with borrow & lend. People apparently don't know that lend is a word, and use the word borrow to mean both borrow and lend. To this day, I think most of my hometown uses these words incorrectly, even those who have left and gone to university/college/whatever.

Also, in Minnesota, "unthaw" is apparently a word. My dad uses it, the attorney I work for uses it...it's kind of hilarious. Unthaw=thaw. Not sure how it started

like it's a contraction of you all. Who tf says "ya all;" that would be like ya'all, which would really get contracted to something sounding like yuh'll. Whereas y'all = you all, where you drop the ooo sound.

Other fun variations: y'all'll = you all will; y'all's = possessive; all y'all = every one of you

When you put it like that it makes perfect sense, fortunately I am a proud american that will not be swayed by your rational thinking and will stick with how I do it. Past that, no idea why. Rural PA taught me to spell it like that

Or it's a contraction of ya (how are ya doin) and all, ergo ya'll

Except "ya" is pronounced "yuh." Hence wrt "ya'll" [sic] you drop the "ahhhh" from ahhhll and you're left with "yuh" + "ll" if you say ya'll. Hence it becomes "yuh'll" as poorly elaborated in my post above

I'm not sure if it's regional (I'm from the northeast so I'd need a whole thread to go through all of the regional grammar mistakes we make here) but one thing that a lot of people do is use the word itch instead of scratch.

+1 "ya'll" is an abomination

[Dr.Degrees_Cr.Cash]

Alright I'm just gonna go back to yall

[34iplaw]

I thought the apostrophe in that context is added to signify letters were removed, so it would be y(ou)'all. Kind of like what happens with the -g on the end of gerunds.

[Anon.y.mousse.]

in a similar vein as the y'all vs. ya'll conversation - watched someone write an apostrophe backwards yesterday in the midst of a contraction and was horrified and apparently the way that apostrophes face is a source of contention/confusion as well.

[Gitaroo_Dude]

so who here is pro-border wall??

I'm not really opposed to it on moral grounds, but from a practical standpoint it just seems dumb as hell.

[Hennessy]

I could not possibly be more pro gun, but I am open to background checks like Dr.Degrees has said. I really draw the line on arbitrary bans on guns that look bad, like banning anything with a bayonut lug, muzzle break, pistol grip, collapsible stock, etc. The constitution is pretty clear on gun ownership and the purpose of it. I simply do not trust a government official more with a gun than I trust myself with it, and since the government isn't limiting themselves, why should I? Gun registries are also VERY bad.

On the y'all vs. ya'll vs. yall debate, y'all and yall are both fine. Ya'll is not, as it would be a contraction of you will.
Sincerely,
Your resident redneck.

i'd rather de-arm the police than de-arm the citizenry

[amta]

it's you all, so y'all.

ya boy is pro-gun too. the NRA is fucking whylin' though when they say shit like "WHERE IS BACKGROUND CHECK IN THE CONSTITUTION!?!?!?"
