Ye New Moderator type... - Anonymous - 07-19-2002
Salve!<br>

Guess I needed to pop up my ugly head and say hello to this nifty group of bandits I have agreed to moderate...(I gotta be nuts...) Y'all know the rules (poor US southern accent), so keep by em and I'll be a nice guy...otherwise I'll get out my centurion attitude...E EM<br>

Your centurion attitude? Hmmm, have you noticed that the most vocal types here have been promoted to much higher ranks? <p>Greets<BR>

What about that Tiger? Do you have a silly accent?<br>
And as long as people don't call you 'gimme another', you're doing well as moderator. <p>Greets<BR>

And here I thought being vocal was punishable by a good whacking! <p>"Remember, pillage first....then burn."</p><i></i>
Re: silly accents - naso - 07-19-2002
surely your not from the southern US since you wrote the contraction correctly. Here most people write it as Ya'll which makes absolutely no sense. Oh well<br>

Oh well, the correct grammar threw me off. Though I suppose people would say the same about me since I do the same thing and I've lived in the southeastern US my entire life. You know though Florida isn't considered southern any more but you are further north so I suppose you might be an exception<br>

"Y'all" or "you'all" is the proper second person plural of the pronoun. If you do much latin translation, this becomes very helpful.<br>
<br>
"You'uns" is the less correct plural, and "you" used as a plural is for people who get confused with numbers greater than one.<br>
