Snow + Inexperienced Driver

[quislibet]

I have a two-hour driving lesson thingy today. While I am comforted somewhat by the fact that Vlad the Instructor (no, really, his name is Vlad) has his own brake pedal, I just wanted to say, I love you guys.

Wait, make that "y'all" or something -- apparently there are people who feel that other injustices in the world will take care of themselves, and so they devote their time to eradicating "you guys" as a gender-inclusive term, as it erases the feminine. I don't want my potentially last act in this world to be that I erase your femininity.

don't worry, my femininity is still intact, you guys. ;-P

Snow is not an issue, ice would be. You only have to worry about snow if it's still snowing, and there are no plows, like my drive home last night.
Silly monkey. *grins*

(NB - retyping this again, since I already lost it once. wooh.)
I dont think your last act would be to eradicate femininity.
It'd be more like being the lead in story on the evening news, as result of causing a 20 car pileup. :)

So, if "y'all" is the attempt to replace "you guys" as a gender-inclusive term, what would the collective non-gender plural "all y'all" represent? "Youse guys"?

one to ponder, I'll bet.
