I can't resist.  Since you brought up the premise of editing posts,
let me perform a bit of surgery on your own: (See under post)
Now, y'all don't take offense ... I'm just joshin'  ;>)

Remember this.... when the following word begins with one of those consonant
thingys, use an "a".

================

Ya'll is wrong; it is properly spelled .. Y'all (you all).

Y'all is still wrong.  To use that idiom, one must first be a 'southerner',
but such would
never have been used in the first place since it refers to just one person
... yourself..
"Y'all" to a southerner, refers to several persons. Even if in conversation
with just
one person, the premise is still valid when the speaker refers to 'several'
while
talking to just one, e.g. " Did y'all like the movie?" Even when talking to
only ONE
person, the speaker refers to a whole group of persons attending the movie.
No
southerner EVER said "y'all" while talking and refering to only the person
before him.
That happens only in the movies, or somewhere in the northern latitudes
where grits
is not served automatically for breakfast in chain restaurants.

Y'all be needin' ... ; still just as wrong.  It should have been written:
Y'all will be needin' ...  (note that needin' is accepted as correct).

"professehnul .."  is spelled wrong.  Should be "professh'nul" is you intend
to
try emulating southern idiom in writing.  You seemingly tried, but just
misspelled it.

Lastly .. "thingys".  Basic english rule of usage: When pluralizing, change
the 'y' to
'i', and add 'es'.  Thus, 'thingys' correctly becomes 'thingies'.

Bottom line:  Don't throw stones ..... well, you get the drift.
