Maybe that confusion is general and not caused by your regionalism. Maybe "uh...what" is caused by brain freeze from all the cold weather in the north. :-) On the other hand... if somebody said "Y'all" to me (singular), I'd probably look around the room to see who else was being included. I'm a native Texan, but I don't remember many folks using "Y'all" as singular. Maybe you and I ran around in different circles. -- Wynn /-------------------------------------------------------- ______ | Wynn Wagner III ww3@fasttax.com \ / | Computer Language Research, Advanced Technology Group \ / | Opinions expressed are those of my employer... \/ \ they just don't know it yet.
