    Default ya'll!

    I did a quick survey around the office and everyone agrees that it's ya'll. Y'all is the yankee spelling! only yankees think it's a contraction of you all. I did get a few yall's as the spelling (one syllable), but not one y'all.

    no one thinks florida is the south either.

    any input from Mississippi? Alabama? Georgia?

    Tha panhandle is the south, hell, most people group it as South Alabama :P

    I'm not totally convinced its part of Alabama though... I'm not a huge fan of Alabama, but I really enjoy the panhandle. Just the lousy opinion of a coonass living in hicksville

    Then they're idiots.

    It's a contraction, with the apostrophe taking the place of "ou." If it weren't a contraction, there wouldn't be an apostrophe.

    Take care Ag. Hope you get a chance to come back out here in the not-to distant future. Also hope to see some caves out your way some day as well.

    Safe diving,

    Sorry to see you go Ag!

    FWIW, all this idle chit-chat is keeping the Van For Sale thread on top

    well, on second reflection, most are not actually from the south....and with shirley's heritage, I yield! Uncle.

    That's a fair price for the green machine by the way. Wasn't there someone looking for a dive vehicle recently?
