Why does the use of "y'all" irritate me????? Just so that people here will know that I was not referring to anyone here and in noting the incorrect use of certain words/terms and slang...................I have a relative of sorts - kind of like a surrogate grandson - who can't get thru a post on FB without using the term "Y'all" and another unpleasant word "f@@k". He is 22 years old - had a decent upbringing and was recently married, so it's not like he's a teeny-bopper trying to act all big and bad. But then again,, maybe he does view that as big and bad. IMO - he is showing his ignorance and immaturity, and I've noticed that now even his mother is starting to say "y'all" quite frequently - far more than she ever did. Perhaps it's rubbing off on her????
I DID NOT have to explain myself to anyone here, but it appears that some have taken offense. To those of you that know me, I'm certain that you knew I was pointing a finger at no one - simply making an observation of how our language has evolved - and not necessarily for the best, either. To others who would like to think the worst of me, then I say "be my guest and go right ahead". I really don't give a rat's backside.
