I retired from church ball last week. Well maybe I was banished.

For some reason they don't like it when you call opposing players 'fucking idiots.'

it is not plural and should never be used with an 's' on the end.

Look, I am ok with the cursorary usage of ya'll here in the Mountain West but when people say yew'll(2 sylables) or ya'lls, they must be corrected. Not even a white trash texan hick says ya'lls. tic.

I thought you were from Texas.

"Is this y'all's?"

You are telling me Texans would say what instead?

oh yeah, i've heard that exact phrase in Texas, but they were just trying to sound folksy...trying being the operative word.

Ya'll needs to roll off of one's tongue, it can't be forced, and it is neither plural or possesive.
