On Trolls

I'm doing much better I let Slowman pitch his manure in SED a couple of times now and did not respond.

I am JURB and I am trollfeederaaholic.

Yeah, we need TA like AA. The 12 step program to recovery.

One day at a time.

Easy does it.

We can even use the same bumper stickers and avoid those "routine" traffic stops.

Methinks that should be "You All" or "Y'all".

(etc).

I should include trolls in my biblical style description of various Usenet personalities: My "men of graffiti" are close, but not quite a troll. Hmmm... I should probably take my own advice in the last line.

"Y'all" is singular; "All y'all" is the plural.

Just sayin'

You get to choose :-)

Given my location, were I to indulge in a colloquial form of plural address , it would be Youns, pronounced Yuns to rhyme with Huns. As that would fly over the head of 50% of the population, and beneath the dignity of 49%, I w ill stick with the stodgy "All".

My wife is from Virginia, and even after 36 years, I still do not entirely understand the various forms of y'all, and how they are applied. There are at least six (6).

I haven't heard that pronounciation. One of my customers, from somewhere in the south, ocassionally says "all". I have trouble distinguishing his "all" from "oil". Both sound exactly the same to me.

I only know the two that I mentioned. I must be culturally deprived.
