southern grammar

So we finally got back into the groove today and I just quickly have a moment to tell you of a major mistake my 7 yr old found in her grammar book. Never mind that four other kids were in this book before her SHE found the mistake...there is no listing for y'all or all y'alls in her book!!!! Plural and plural possessives beware...The South does not forgive or forget (a lesson in which has taken me YEARS to figure out)!

    I've been thinking about it a lot lately in teaching grammar. you is either singular or plural. But sometimes it just needs to be clarified you all. Besides, it's cute!
