The table is too full of real world things to untangle and babysit topics where people brush aside the core expectations of the website.

Can't behave? Topic will close. Continue? And the the bloodletting will begin.

This isn't a negotiation.
 
I can say that I'm very satisfied with the efficiency that the replacement swamp cooler I purchased has provided, we've had 90% humidity the last few days and it somehow continues to produce air that is consistently 10' cooler than outside, when the humidity is at a more average level it drops to 25-30'. I'm a stupid mechanic so I brought home calibrated thermometers to measure these values.

I'm actually very concerned about using the word "y'alls" correctly.

I come from a very southern family, but I think my parents would have put a foot in my ass if I said "Y'all".

My swedish grandmother would have berated me for not speaking or writing in perfect english, but she would be yelling at me in swedish, a language that I might have learned from the muppet show. I swear I only understood about 20% of what she was trying to convey. Still miss her, pull up to her house and she was always waiting yelling "Hallloooo". Good times, and she could make a great flan, weird right?

I like that. It's catchy. Like this song:



I don't know about you but I listen to it on the way to work.
 
Wow. I just listened to that for four minutes and two seconds. For some reason, I kept expecting that it would ... well ... change.

Wow.

The correct pronunciation is "summa y'all's".
<-did 5+ years in the south and still never understood a single word said over the drive-thru speaker or the walmart PA system.

Don't get me started on the word Y'all. Granted it's short for you all but even then it's just bad. Just say spare the old school "text speak" (another pet peeve) and say everyone (a proper substitute for Y'all). :)

But then again I don't have a problem with the word ain't (if used right). But then again everyone has double standards. :)
