      I’m confused. No punctuation, no spell check, barely any literacy. What is “yall yallself yall”? Sounds very arabic, but might just be an undereducated US american?

        It would benefit from a period, and I can’t tell if they’re trying to be sarcastic, but the use of y’all is fine. Y’all is an American-English word most similar to the Spanish vosotros. Y’all’s-selves is a more specific dialect mostly found in the US south east, but it is a word too. Y’all fills a hole in the language and I don’t get why people hate it so much. Y’all’s-selves really only serves the purpose of adding an emphasis on the collective nature of yourselves.

          Just FYI, y’all is pretty much confined to the US South. You almost never hear it in other regions.

          That’s also why there’s so much hate: because “y’all” is so strongly associated with the South, and the South has a bit of a reputation in the rest of the country. Some of which is deserved and a lot of which isn’t, but it is what it is.

        I think what the commentor is attempting to do is point out and make fun of is that Americans only care for right now and within a few election cycles America will stop providing financial support to the Ukraine.

          Which isn’t true, polls show a supermajority of Americans support arming Ukraine. Even the Republicans are only split about 50-50, which is absolutely shocking given how hard the right wing propaganda machine’s been working to try to convince them to abandon Ukraine over the past year and a half.

        Yall just jealous that the American southern dialect is home to one of the most versatile pronouns on the planet. Singular, plural, gender neutral, and easily contractible (yall’s, yall’d, yall’re). Even the queer community wishes their pronoun game was this tight!
