Every time I hear someone say ‘eh’ in a questioning tone or to mean ‘um actually’ I lose my shit. Or even just to play something down.
Like I literally come to hate the person instantly. Its a very strong feeling on a very small sound.
Instant downvotes if I see it on Lemmy too. HATE IT.
How about all y’all?
I use y’all because my native language has a plural you and english doesn’t I use y’all because it’s the most neutral plural you english has. I suspect that’s part of the reason why it’s over-represented online, esl learners.
I am in the Northern US, and though I don’t use y’all in speech, I do use it often in writing.
There isn’t a plural you. Y’all works for this well
