I figuratively committed suicide so my first meal could be a hot pocket. So eating a four cheese hot pocket.

The fact is that “y’all” is pretty useful, as formal English doesn’t have a distinctly plural version of “you.” There is no “yous” (except in places like New York city and New Jersey, sometimes in the form of “youse guys”). This suggests that the referent is usually clear enough in context. But the existence of “y’all,” the related “you-all” and “all-y’all,” and other workarounds like “you guys” and “you lot” show that there is, in fact, room in the market for new second-person plural pronouns. Visitors to Texas typically realize the value of “y’all” within 48 hours.

The Economist

The plural “you”: +1 for Romance languages (and German)

Gendered nouns and articles: -2 for Romance languages (and German)

…there are other languages that use both, but Spanish and German are the ones I’ve personally studied.

Minor White, Windowsill Daydreaming, Rochester, New York, 1958. Thank you, kvetchlandia


I was obsessed with Minor White in high school. No one else was nearly as interested and when I tried to copy him people would usually say something to the effect of, “oh, your highlights are blown.” I thought fuck this and I quit.

Coach McGuirk: Now when I was in college I went through some weird times.

Brendon: I didn’t know you went to college.

Coach McGuirk: Couple days I did. Alright? And I ran with a gang. The gang was called The Feel Goods. It wasn’t the toughest gang in the world, it was more like running with the cast of a Broadway musical. Very annoying, a lot of freaky interpretive dance stuff, beads, make up, in other words drugs Brendon.

Brendon: Coach McGuirk I am not. doing. drugs.
