28 de jun. de 2013 · Ya'll, I have heard from grammatically correct Southern friends, was a version of you, while all y'all was the form for you all (i.e. plural). But either way, the sooner this thing dies from the English language, the better.

31 de jan. de 2012 · 2. There are many expressions throughout many cultures that are similar to this and each is pronounced slightly differently. The Yiddish "oy oy oy", the Spanish "ai ai ai" and the Chinese "ai ai ai" or "ai yo" are all minor variations on this theme (and pronounced distinctly). I've never heard this in straight up American English.
11 de jan. de 2016 · In "ya", the "ou" vowel has been replaced with "a". We don't have punctuation to indicate that, so we just write it. This is also generally the case where a replacement slang/informal word is missing letters, but others have changed.

13 de ago. de 2010 · While reading a book, I came across the word I'd've, as in: I'd've argued against it. While it was obvious what it meant, it left me puzzled. Is I'd've a proper word?
