why fool with mobil one when yawl can give your loved one a bottle of
mil spec B-1 lube 5-300w!

Rumour had it that Pedro's Syn Lube was overpriced Mobil 1 in a small
bottle.

Dear Mr. Daniels:

It's spelled y'all (a contraction of "you all"😉 NOT "yawl".

And it serves to replace the missing 2nd person plural indicative that English
no longer has.

Why do so few English speakers employ this usefull word?

Dear Ron,

Hadst thou suffered through an Old English class or two,
thou wouldst have learnt that thy forefathers cast the
second person plural aside lo these many centuries ago and
danced scornfully upon its pitiful corpse--yea, even unto
throwing the very letters used in spelling it (the thorn and
the asch) onto the dunghill of language, along with the
peculiar dual articles of Old English (neither singular nor
plural) to which pants and scissors and other things that
naturally come in two's were once sensibly yoked.

More technically, all languages simplify as they grow older.
Endings and varying forms tend to regularize and simplify
when we realize (that) we can follow each other without the
excruciating detail. (The omission of "that" and the common
confusion about when it should be replaced with "which" are
a sign of simplifying--we know (that) it's not needed.)

The irregular words that survive do so because they are what
linguists call strong words, meaning that they are used so
often that their increasingly peculiar forms are retained,
even though they have become absurd. In English, regular
present-tense verbs like "to talk" have simplified to the
charming common form and the -s added for third person
singular: I, you, we, and they talk (common), but he, she,
or it talks (-s). But the strong verb "to be" is used so
often that we native English speakers scarcely give its
hideous congjugation any thought: am-is-are, was-were . . .
where the hell's be"?

("Be" shows up in be-being-been, but the verbs in question
are actually just a jumbled-together Frankenstein's monster
made out of parts of three different verbs that have long
since vanished. If the same thing were to happen in Spanish,
bits and pieces of the verbs "estar" and "ser" would be
tangled together haphazardly.

To return to simplification, Spanish as used in the New
World hardly ever uses "vosotros" (an informal or familiar
form of "ustedes" that is practically the same as "y'all"😉,
just as "thee" and "thou" have vanished from English outside
of Amish crack dens and the pornography of the Pennsylvania
Dutch.

Similarly, the archaic European forms for formal and
familiar addresss are showing signs of vanishing amongst the
youthful speakers, who couldn't care less--and who grow even
wearier of worrying about the gender of every noun in the
universe, a murky tradition that English has thankfully
abandoned.

I wouldn't be surprised if some European languages allow
their cycling newsgroups to torture themselves about which
articles should precede a man's versus a woman's
bicycles--should the latter step-through frame use the
feminine version of "the" or not? Or should all bicycles be
masculine and appear only after a properly masculine
article? Is a woman's Italian bicycle a Campagnola?
