Typical translation: I just want to say mean things about chapters under the guise of a code because it's fun.

Or I just feel like making stuff up.

"On Some Serious Ish"... hated it!

"Yo Son"... been female since birth

"Tell me why..." I can't. Sorry.

"I've already done this before."

Yes, the fact that you have "already done this" implies that you have done this "before." Knock it off!

Why do you say "y'all" if "you" doesn't need a plural form? ;)

"All y'all" has a different meaning from "y'all," just as "we all" has a different meaning from "we."

E.g.: "We know what you've been doing." vs. "We all know what you've been doing."

"Are we going to the game?" vs. "Are we all going to the game?"

"All y'all" means "every single of one of you."

(Yes, I know "y'all" is a contraction of "you all," but it functions as a plural rathar than as a true contraction.")

Where in Michigan did you live? I lived in Michigan for 25 years and have never heard anyone say 'yous guys'.
Suburbs of Detroit mostly.

I've lived here for 46 years and never heard someone say yous guys. It's "You guys" or "you people" usually.

I'm under the understanding that that's a Chicago thing more so than a Detroit thing.

We also go to The Home Depots and The Jewels (grocery store, Jewel-Osco), apparently.

I don't use these terms but "real chi-KAH-go guyz" do.

Ok, the more I see this in recruitment threads the more I cringe. One joins a CHAPTER, not a HOUSE. A house is a physical structure that the chapter resides in. A Chapter is a group of women who go to the same college and are in the same sorority. I realize at schools where the chapters have houses everybody calls the chapters "houses" instead, but it's a pet peeve of mind and it makes me nuts when I read it. Chapter, not House.

Ditto! I remember getting a list of correct Greek terms (recruitment vs. rush, new member vs. pledge, etc) and it included "chapter" vs. "house". This was at an officer training session (or something like it) that was combined with other Kappa chapters that DO have houses, so it didn't make sense to me at the time.

There is no r, so why are you using one?
Take the r out of warsh and put it back in liberry where it belongs.

:p

I think texted is an awkward word - "He texted me last night." I don't know what else the past tense of text would be, but it bothers me.

I also dislike journal being used as a verb.

Sent a text?

"At the end of the day..." do you really know what's going to happen at the end of the day?

That's a lot better than texted.

I'd be really impressed if they put it back in February.
