patriotism is the not-dirty word for loving your country. nationalism is, unequivocally, morally bad.

you aren't describing nationalism. there's an smbc about this.

And yet it so quickly starts to define who is "of the country" and not by the color of people's skin... so weird!

Ofc moon landing was real. We used it to move the goal posts on the space race after getting crushed by USSR.

it's not called Planned Vaginahood. you just walk in and tell them you think your penis is pregnant and they'll set you right up.

The real point is that people use it as a way to undermine women's attractiveness and general success more frequently than men's

Why does this come up when talking about women but not the times we talk about men like Jeff Goldblum?

so y'all is low by association outside of the South. listen, I hate a lot of parts about the south, but y'all should reexamine your biases.

that's not exactly true. it's not used outside of the South, and there's a stereotype for low dialect/education/intellect southerners.

like this? https://glossary.sil.org/term/formal-language y'all still falls completely in this definition

Oh as in between regions. That makes sense. I face the same thing as someone working in NE after growing up in the South.

for the same reason that English doesn't have standardized pronunciation: there's no governing linguistic body to prescribe any of it.

that's true, and not my claim. the underlying problem is that it's impossible to have a rigorous def'n of formal in English.

Formal language may happen in plenty of situations (lectures and sermons) where y'all may also be used.

what's the connection between code switching and in/formal language? y'all is very southern, where they're usually monolingual, no?

6 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

There are many words used in both informal and formal language. Y'all is among them.

a lot of people who haven't lived in the south and haven't bothered to even look at the suggestion of a dictionary downvoting this

6 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 2

you'd still be able to say that y'all is used in formal usage in many parts of these United States

*tucks thumbs into suspender straps* now I'm no big city lawyer, but if we assumed that "formal" is rigorously defined (it's not)
