Jeff Foxworthy will back me up on this (The Southern Dictionary, or whatever that god-awful book is called, has a page-long rant about how the word "y'all" is STRICTLY a plural pronoun).
Can I just bitchslap you instead, because "all y'all" is a perfectly acceptable phrase, and the meaning is quite different from "y'all". You live in Ohio.
But I spent the first eighteen years of my life in New Orleans. I know the proper use of "y'all." But you got me on the "all" part. There are instances where it could be useful to use "all y'all." It just pissed me off when talking to an Ohioan the other day who insisted that "Y'all" was just a southern way of saying "you (singular)," and that the pluralized for of "y'all" was "all y'all."

Hmm...

Let's just put at this: if every once in a while the FMs want to give themselves a break from the relentless fight-per-week pace, and let a set of fights run for two weeks or something, no one will mind, and some people will even be happy about it and maybe have an easier time participating. If you otherwise want longer fights, run a sidefight. Maybe if you're lucky the FMs will link to it. You can still have fun and make music with the great community of people here, even if you can't manage to get a song done in a week.

End of thread!!! ;)

You need to stop bragging about your post count if you are to continue submitting posts of this length and er....quality.

Also, did you make your avatar smaller? It looks smaller.

Frankie, I don't brag about my post count.... I resent such an accusation.

I merely celebrated the passing of a milestone in my career... am I any different than a Sting, or say a Gordie Howe?


I say NAY.

My avatar is much smaller now. I resized it.

Thanks for noticing, I'll change my vote back.


See, this post is longer!


Any way... you know what they say... If you look at a guy's post count, you can tell how big his... oops, gotta go, my soldering iron's gettin hot.
