Point of Order

[flyguy06]

Iwanted to make a point of order on a post in the "CAWG CC fired" Thread, but it was locked. I make this correction to my cadwets all the time. Its not that big of a deal. Certainly not worht starting a new thread over but I didnt have achoice.

Thee is no such word as "Sirs" When addressing more than one senior officer, the correct phrase is "Gentlemen" or "Ladies" or "Laies and Gentlemen" Again, not worth a thread or discussion. Just pointingit out

I use "sirs" quite often.  Its from having lived in Alabama...many years ago, former Governor Seagleman decided to introduce a piece of legislation to the State Congress and it passed.  It became law that students must refer to their teachers as "Sir" and "Ma'am".   It was further stretched to include all adults.   

Granted Alabama was a bit wierd to begin with and the law really didn't have any teeth (each scholastic institution was allowed to decide what the violation would entail).   But to keep within the letter of the law, how else is one supposed to address two or more male adults?   At least "Sirs" sounds better than "Ma'ams".

Yes they have, but only if they are before the words, "Start your engines".

I'd cy'fer somethin' fearce like dat ifin' I'd git 'way wid it. 

Anyway, I suppose they locked that thread for a reason.  Hence, we descend into this butchering of the English language instead of continue the topic.  Now that's a point of order

Yankee!  Yankee!  I'll have you know that I was born in Florida.  About as far south of the Mason Dixon line as you can get and still stay in the country. Oh and BTW,  our state capitol was never captured.

Can't take you Mississippi types anywhere!  I was talking about Bob.....he's in the "Land of Lincoln," thinks ketchup is spicy....so you gotta just look at him and say, "aw....bless his heart."

Brother, thanks again for making us Alabama types look good!  (Y'all keep us #49 of 50 in the education stats!)  (J/K, you know I luv ya like a bro!)



PS - My birth certificate says "FLORIDA" also.  I was born in that part of FL that Alabama wouldn't buy.....Escambia County.  "Oh, that place won't amount to anything."

Stupid Alabamians...  Oh, wait a minute..........

"Hey! youse guys!"

[LTC_Gadget]

I will admit to having used "Sirs" many times.

As far as the 'Yous guys," you sound so coarse..   Don't you know is "y'all"  Y'all is sometimes singular, sometimes plural, and occasionally, like when there's a whole room full of ya, like at National Board general assembly, it's "all y'all." Hey, Alabama, weigh in on this one, wontcha??

D'oh! My bad, I apologize, I was reading fast between meetings and thought you called me a yankee (Bless all their hearts)! This night shift stuff is starting to get to me, hopefully less than a week to go until we get back to normal.

In the indicative, it is:

ya'll               all ya'll
him/her/it     them all (them'uns and those'uns are also acceptable)  ...

Cain't you Dixiecrats get it right? It's y'all, with the apostrophe replacing the missing letters (ou). Even the CT spell checker got it right (surprisingly!).
