The folks who say "you guys" and coined idiotic gender based concepts like 'misgendering' are really complaining about the use of a gender-agnostic plural?!?

It literally solves the your made up problem!

Outrage over y'all is not an actual thing, so outrage over outrage over y'all is silly.

But yes it fulfills a legit grammatical purpose i.e. the lack of an unambiguous second person plural pronoun since we switched to using "you" in place of both "thou" and "ye"

Some of you need to relax. I saw this. Thought it was satire based on similar true statements. And texags reacts exactly as expected.

I'm going to guess that nothing in that "article" was real and the whole thing was made up. I'm completely down with pointing out the pathetic lameness of woke leftists, but everything about that was fake as hell.

It's satire maybe. What it really points out is that the entire taking offense industry is ridiculous pointless and deserves no credit.

I had an employee say that we shouldn't use the word "folks" because it sounded Southern i.e. racist. She didn't even finish the month with us.

When these claims are brought up……they need to be confronted and the enemy should be forced of the stage if they use propaganda as a means to debate.

Don't care what offends them. Not worth your time.
THIS.

What the article means is "Howdy" and "y'all" are declared racist in Leftese. That's not the language use --regional slang where of habit, and otherwise basically the the King's English prose.

(Aside: Interesting to be able to say King and it be directly relelvant to Britain again)

Note that y'all is much less offensive than the upper Midwest use of "yous".

Liberals love the term Y'all. It's a gender inclusive term that covers just about everyone including non-binary people. I'm so proud of y'all striving to be more inclusive by using this term more often.
Clever, you're not. But keep trying little buddy.

Slightly off topic, but how do you feel about the phrase "all y'all"?
As in: Are all y'all going to the the A&M game this weekend?

grammatically incorrect and should use it?

grammatically incorrect but acceptable?

Screw grammar, it's perfectly fine?

My grandfather, born and raised in the south, used to say - if you asked him what time it was and it was past the half hour... say for example 11:40:

"Well... it's about noon lacking 20 minutes"

I always loved this.

Yup. Only racists consider common phrases to be racist.
Trump will fix it.
