It's like I'm operating through a wall of fuzz.

We have a new faucet. Yay! I have "Don't Go Back to Rockville" stuck in my head,
probably because I heard it yesterday and it remained.

The phrase "may of" needs to die a horrible flaming death. Just because you
pronounce "have" the same way you pronounce "of", in whatever region it is that
swallows that bit of the word, does not mean that you should spell it the same way.

And I am thankful for new faucets, and new carpet at my workplace, and tea, and the
beautiful morning outside, and the light at my heart, and the fact that while I'm
not quite sane at least I won't be re-visiting the dreadful self-destructive agony
of spring 2005 ever again. (I was up tagging the cabinet saga,
and that had me re-reading the era, and ow. I recognize a lot of the stuff that I
didn't realize then, but ... still. Ow.)

YAAAAAAAAAY WE HAS A JD. (The AK-47 thing has spread over my workplace and Myrrh's
as well.) Snarky Lady came back in and said "He looks like he can read, write, and
chew gum at the same time." That was how she spotted him in the break room.

As to the "may of" thing, typing it that way is...icky. I don't say it either way. ^-^ Yay for Kentucky. I say it "may've"

[moniqueleigh]

Yup. And that's where people get the "of" -- they hear "may've" & don't understand it's actually a contraction of "may have" so they write/say "may of." Yes, it annoys me greatly, but I've found the annoyance slightly less once I understood the source of the confusion. Umm... emphasis on the slightly.... *sigh*

I try very hard not to type in dialect unless it is for a character. Otherwise, I would be spelling "kitten" as "ki'en". I attempt not to speak in it too much, but sometimes I forget. I accidently influenced a friend enough that she has been saying "y'all" lately.

I said y'all recently and someone commented to me that I did not say that. I say y'all all the time. I've even been known to say all y'all. I grew up in El Paso around Oakies. I say y'all. *grins*

^^ My friends should just be thankful that I don't say "you'uns". That was a startlingly popular term where I spent part of my youth.

I picked up "y'all" from Leonard Nimoy.

[moniqueleigh]

Due to living in Mississippi & having family from Pennsylvania, I used to mix "y'all" and "youse guys" almost interchangeably. Heh.

[lord-maahes.livejournal.com]

That is greatly amusing.

[lord-maahes.livejournal.com]

Oh, fun. My family is from Indiana and Chicago, which means I get the insane urge to occasionally Warsh the clothes and use the phrase "yeah, whatever."

It's taken me years to ditch "all youse."

Both Spock and Not-Spock were huge influences on my teenage years.
