Spelling Police - we need one...

At your service

Forgive me, fore I have sinned

I would suggest that you do not hire a southerner for the spelling popo.

@just-a-surveyor Thank God I am born and raised in Kentucky. Can't agree more Southern folk are no good with words. 😉

@holy-cow

In Florida, apparently.

@richard-imrie

They could smell hamburger on her breath.  Time for revenge.

Is it you in, you'in, yin, you an' or something else halfway close to that?

Ima fixin' ta..................exactly how does one fix such things?

As Jeff Foxworthy once said, "If you are about to have brain surgery and the doctor walks in and says, 'Y'all looky here now, we gonna............' jump up off that table and run for your life."

@holy-cow

We are always "fixin" to do something or "fixin" to go somewhere.

Y'all can be both singular and plural but for the truly educated and cultured southerner "all y'all" is truly the word choice of the upper crust.

And everyone know "over yonder" is perfectly understandable especially when accompanied by a finger point.

It may have been unique to our clan, but in my childhood days we had three forms of yonder.

There was just yonder.?ÿ This usually meant a specific location that was visible to the naked eye.?ÿ Yonder was usually accompanied by a head nod or a nose point in the general direction.

Then there was over yonder.?ÿ?ÿThis meant a specific locale that while possibly not visible, it was probably close by and familiar.?ÿ Over yonder?ÿusually meant somewhere outdoors most likely off the property by a unit of distances know as a ways.?ÿ As in an answer to the question "How far is it?" - answered by "Oh, it's a ways."

And finally there was way yonder.?ÿ This form of yonder was reserved in describing somewhere that would probably require some effort to actually make it there and probably involving something that burned diesel, gasoline or oats.?ÿ Usually a location unknown to either participants of a conversation.?ÿ As in "Where's San Diego?" - answered by, "Don't know.?ÿ But it's way yonder."

Punctuation is equally important.

"Let's eat, Grandma."

vs.

"Let's eat Grandma."

I'm fixin to let all ya'all no i could care less.

@lurker

@holy-cow

You forgot a "." after "service". ????
