"Whenever" and "Seen"

[Sirrahsim]

Ya'll.....
I love the term "Ya'll"
I wouldn't have been caught dead saying it before moving here but now I am getting used to it! It's kind of comforting. You can't say "ya'll" without a hint of a smile.

"Ya'll come back now, ya hear??"

I love it, too. Don't hate me, but one of my tiny pet peeves is the apostrophe in that word. The word is a contraction of you and all. So, it looks like this: "y'all". I almost didn't type this, but I think you'll smile about it instead of getting mad that I pointed it out at all. At least, I hope so! It's not meant to be negative.

I love saying it, too, although I will avoid saying "fixin' to" like my life depended on it.

*cough* excuse me. Y'all had best leave my spelling and grammar alone. This here is my thread and I'm a fixin' to throw a conniption fit!!

How about Prolly, y'all? It's 'probably'!!

And don't wait on me to get there. Wait FOR me. This one has become national and international and still is WRONG!

To, too, two are some others that shouldn't be interchanged. To indicates direction, too means also, two is the number.

Some things I can forgive if it's a simple thing such as seperate for separate (or is it the other way around?). And I do understand honest typos. But I do think everyone should TRY.

I can't tell you how many times I've had to look up diarrhea

Oh another one I just thought of...saying "litature" instead of litERature! This is something that's bugged me for a very long time! I actually had an English Literature professor in college pronounce it litature! I couldn't believe it! I'm really not a snob but I found this ironic that a lit prof didn't even know how to pronounce literature

And as for Y'all, I'll never say this unless it's in mocking hehe. I'll always be a Yankee

Oh, and it doesn't really bother me too much, but the southerners here in TX end words like tornado, window, willow, in an 'a'...example: tornada, winda, willa. I've had a few people tell me that Quinn Willa is a pretty name, I correct them and say that it's WilloW not WillA Hehe. Now my husband jokingly calls our daughter Quinn Willa

Conniption fit. I love that phrase!

I first heard it while listening to a tape recording of a Bill Cosby routine. He was talking about his wife's conniption fits. For those of you youngin's, a tape is a means of electronically recording sounds.

My students do not know what a conniption fit is. Strange.

I still remember the first time that I said ya'll in an everyday conversation. I had just moved here to Texas and was at Lowe's looking for a dolly to move our washer and dryer... I walked up to the salesman and said "Do ya'll sell dollies?"
When I realized what I had said I was floored!! I'm about as Yankee as they come

I use y'all all (of) the time. I do have to watch the placement of the apostrophe. I have seen it as "ya'll" quite a bit, but since I can think, I know it's supposed to be "y'all".
