In spoken English, because I don’t have the right accent, I say β€œyou all”

It is so fucking weird

English needs a second person plural, and β€œy’all”’is perfect for this.

When your life is defined by a total lack of material friction, and everyone you interact with has material incentives to minimize interpersonal friction, you are simply under no selective pressure to use your brain.

Yes! This is how I feel.

Oh for sure it would be an utter embarrassment

TO BE MAXIMALLY FAIR I am an American who uses β€œy’all” and my phone is set to the Canadian English locale so it’s not impossible that I have posted both before.

I am extraordinarily fortunate to have an email job I do from home. But rather than stew in some weird toxic bath of Gender Anxiety, I just get to do my email job, pick my kids up from school, go for walks, &c. And you know what? IT FUCKING RULES! EVERYBODY SHOULD BE SO LUCKY!

Andre is maybe more oaf. Even the laudatory meathead has a bit of rotten to them. Johnny Knoxville might qualify.

This is the thing that kills me. OK, so you like meatheads, fine; you have the weird dumb sad Gender shit about typing for a living, and seeing this man’s calloused hands, whatever; but that they all latched onto this one particular Hotchkiss drop out! Who is dumber than a bag of hammers!

There are two kinds of meathead: meathead (laudatory): Andre the Giant; and meathead (derogatory): Platner.

I’m mean he’s obviously a meathead
