Oooh, I love it when my point gets proved!!! :-) Break it down.....
ya + ll. Make the sounds and it don't sound right. Again, the "ya" is
getting shortened to "Y" so it gets the apotstophy and "all" stands
alone Y' + all. Although you say "ya" you don't say ya + all. It
sounds more like yee + all, but "all" doesn't change, even if you say
it. Like I said before, I had a heck of a time getting it across when
I lived there..... bunch of hard-heads! :-) As for pronounciation,
OKIES and Texans say it just the same.... Texans just don't know how
to spell it right.... heh-heh-heh HOWEVER, this is NOT an Oklahoma /
Texas rivalry thing.... Get that straight right away.... I have lived
in both states and love them both. Other than the sports stuff, we
are a lot more alike than either of us want to admit. Some of the
nicest folks in the nation live in our region and I think it speaks
volumes!!!! Have a great day and do us all a favor and spell it
right. Maybe you can teach a few friends, now that you know..... heh-
heh-heh :-) :-) :-) The revolution begins! ;-)

That crazy OKIE,

Chris

This note is very smart-***** in tone and meant for humor purposes.
It is NOT meant to be taken personally in any way. I say this because
some folks have such "thin-skin" these days and get offended
easily.... Whatever.... Anyway..... Y'ALL....... ;-)
